Same expectations. Boris should apply the simple fix (delete the WARN
that is giving a false positive) for this current cycle.

If there is support for my patch (with changes/fixes you point out
below), then it could be added in the future and get_domain_from_cpu()
can use lockdep_assert_cpus_held().

I can break it into more pieces if there is enthusiam to apply it.

Indeed yes.

For some reason this morning I thought that the domain needed to be
different. It isn't, so keeping the code that just adjusts the range
of MSRs will work just fine.

The "need_update" variable isn't required. I will move the
	msr_param.res = NULL;
inside the for each domain loop, and can use non-NULL value to
decide whether to IPI a CPU.
