[lm-sensors] [PATCH] coretemp 1/3 Add rdmsr_safe_on_cpu and

[r.marek@assembler.cz (Rudolf Marek)]

Hello,

I will spin the new patches here, in this thread. However I dont know whom to 
address this patch - after it is well tested. Maybe I will convert the msr.c 
driver for this new calls too.

This patch adds support for _safe (exception handled) variants of rdmsr_on_cpu 
and wrmsr_on_cpu. This is needed for the new coretemp driver, which might step
into non-existing MSR (poorly documented).

Alexey, are you the right person to pass this to? LKML maybe?

To correct my statement about the include file:

   CHK     include/linux/version.h
   CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
   CC      arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.s

                  from arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.c:7:
