Backports to 5.4 (the olds relevant LTS) with a single trivial conflict on a
function prototype (the function itself isn't touched, it's just an unfortunate
false postive), and the MSR filtering selftest runs cleanly (in L1).  I'll keep
the original ordering unless you strongly prefer moving the macro patch earlier.
