rdmsr_on_cpu, wrmsr_on_cpu
There was OpenVZ specific bug rendering some cpufreq drivers unusable on SMP.
In short, when cpufreq code thinks it confined itself to needed cpu by means
of set_cpus_allowed() to execute rdmsr, some "virtual cpu" feature can migrate
process to anywhere. This triggers bugons and does wrong things in general.
This got fixed by introducing rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu executing rdmsr
and wrmsr on given physical cpu by means of smp_call_function_single().
Dave Jones mentioned cpufreq might be not only user of rdmsr_on_cpu() and
wrmsr_on_cpu(), so I'm putting them into arch/{i386,x86_64}/lib/ .
