rdmsr_on_cpu, wrmsr_on_cpu et al

[Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@openvz.org>]

Hi, Dave!

There was OpenVZ specific bug rendering some cpufreq drivers unusable
on SMP. In short, when cpufreq code thinks it confined itself to
needed cpu by means of set_cpus_allowed() to execute rdmsr, some
"virtual cpu" feature can migrate process to anywhere. This triggers
bugons and does wrong things in general.

This got fixed by introducing rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu executing
rdmsr and wrmsr on given physical cpu by means of smp_call_function_single().

So, understanding p4-clockmod is not the only driver that was affected,
is something like this acceptable for start?
