The current asm-x86/msr.h does not actually define anything for

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.

can you enumerate which functions need to actually go to userspace then ? the
__KERNEL__ markings are a crapshoot at the moment. you must also be jumping
through hoops in order to use the header in the first place since the vanilla
one wont compile out of the box.
