I'll remove the comment and change definitions of the MSR and the split lock
detection bit as following:

+#define MSR_IA32_CORE_CAPABILITY 0x000000cf
+#define MSR_IA32_CORE_CAPABILITY_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT_BIT 5
+#define MSR_IA32_CORE_CAPABILITY_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT BIT(MSR_IA32_CORE_CAPABILITY_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT_BIT)

Are these right changes?

Thanks.
