[PATCH v4 1/2] x86/boot: Move boot_*msr helpers to asm/shared/msr.h
From: John Allen
Date: Tue Oct 14 2025 - 15:44:26 EST
The boot_rdmsr and boot_wrmsr helpers used to reduce the need for inline
assembly in the boot kernel can also be useful in code shared by boot
and run-time kernel code. Move these helpers to asm/shared/msr.h and
rename to raw_rdmsr and raw_wrmsr to indicate that these may also be
used outside of the boot kernel.
