One thing that really bothers me about these is that they're horribly
non-generic. It wouldn't be so bad -- if we need something more generic
we can create them -- if it wasn't for that perennial horror called
paravirt_crap, which of course just ends up incorporating whatever
internal interfaces we have.
If we're going to modify the paravirt_crap for yet another MSR
operation, then let's at least make it something like "write_msr_edi"
and have it take a parameter for the EDI value. Perhaps we should let
it set EBX and ESI as well (and the same for the read operation, even
though it already exists.)
