Subject: [patch 04/54] i386: Fix K8/core2 oprofile on multiple CPUs

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Only try to allocate MSRs once instead of for every CPU.

This assumes the MSRs are the same on all CPUs which is currently
true. P4-HT is a special case for different SMT threads, but the code
always saves/restores all MSRs so it works identical.
