So Thomas and I discussed this more on IRC and I think we can get rid
of the MSR iterating in scattered.c and integrate both the R3 MWAIT and
CPUID faulting like this:

Please redo your patchset and add the detection to init_intel() like above.

Also, let's call that MSR mask MSR_MISC_ENABLES_CPUID_FAULT_ENABLE like
the rest of the bits in msr-index.h

Thanks.
