Re: asm-x86/msr.h for sanitized headers: clean it or punt it

The current asm-x86/msr.h does not actually define anything for (!__KERNEL__
&& __i386__). For x86_64, it fails to build due to u32/u64 types being used.
Simply not installing the header seems easiest to me. Otherwise, x86_64 will
need sanitizing and i386 should have things added back, otherwise it's just a
pointless empty header.

Please don't -- asm/msr.h is very useful in user space for rdtscll et.al.
I use it all the time in test programs.
