Borislav Petkov 505422517d x86, msr: Add support for non-contiguous cpumasks
The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied
cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there
like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core
enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268.

This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU
msr structs which are used on the respective cores.

Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by
the callers of the MSR accessors.
