[PATCH] x86, AMD: Fix crash as Xen Dom0 on AMD Trinity systems
From: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com>
f7f286a910221 ("x86/amd: Re-enable CPU topology extensions in case BIOS
has disabled it") wrongfully added code which used the AMD-specific
{rd,wr}msr variants for no real reason.
This caused boot panics on xen which wasn''t initializing the
{rd,wr}msr_safe_regs pv_ops members properly.
This, in turn, caused a heated discussion leading to us reviewing all
uses of the AMD-specific variants and removing them where unneeded
(almost everywhere except an obscure K8 BIOS fix, see 6b0f43ddfa358).
Finally, this patch switches to the standard {rd,wr}msr*_safe* variants
which should''ve been used in the first place anyway and avoided
unneeded
excitation with xen.
