[PATCH][2.6.0-test3] i386 msr.c devfs support 1/2

[Andrey Borzenkov <arvidjaar@mail.ru>]

Please let me know if default permissions (644) are not appropriate. Tested on 
2-way SMP kernel single CPU system; it correctly rejects access to 
no-existing CPU.

/dev/cpu/N is not removed on module unload. It is impossible to cleanly 
unregister directories shared by independent drivers given current devfs 
implementation (no actual refcounting)
