I missed the 32-bit case, I'll adjust them to 32/64-bit common path.

MSR_IA32_THERM_CONTROL is avaliable on Intel Pentium 4, Xeon, Pentium M
and later processors, so I think not all of the 32/64-bit x86 CPUs have
this regiser. Maybe codes like this would be more reasonable?
save:
ctx->clock_modulation_saved = !rdmsrl_safe(MSR_IA32_THERM_CONTROL,
	&ctxt->clock_modulation);
retore:
if (ctxt->clock_modulation_saved)
	wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_THERM_CONTROL, ctxt->clock_modulation);

Yu
