Good idea, but I used "_" instead because it's what AMD uses in their
documentation and it looks better with a "0x" prefix.

Yeah, I did it as suggested by Mitch. Here's a thrid
revision of the patch with everything included:

Thanks for the patch, but ...

Before using MSR, you must first check that the cpu supports the
instruction, rd/wrmsr cause an oops on 486 or earlier. Also using an
invalid msr number causes an oops, so use rd/wrmsr_safe(). Finally, kdb
on x86_64 needs the commands as well, so move it to kdb/modules/kdbm_x86.c
(common i386/x86_64 code). Cleaned up patch + changelogs.

I didn't bother implementing those checks because kdb recovers
nicely from GPF anyway. It's the valid MSR writes that could
cause unrecoveable problems! :)

Yes and no. Yes, kdb will recover from a GPF. No, because if the
system was already running correctly (i.e. manual entry into kdb), then
taking a GPF and not recovering will flag the rest of the system as
corrupt and can kill a running system. I try to avoid adding spurious
system corruption.

Tell me about it :-(
