Tony and I went a bit more back-and-forth on this one and it appears that the
relevant code is optimized out in my build while the same did not happen
for him. 

I can now trigger the warning by enabling Xen support, with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL
causing rdmsr() to be replaced by paravirt_read_msr(). With the relevant code
no longer optimized out, the warning is triggered.

Thanks Tony!
