It would be nice to mention that the wrmsr()'s in this patch are only
done inside of an interrupt-disabled region.  Without that little tidbit
of information, it's not obviously correct that the smp_call_function()
in patch 8/9 is correct.

The x86 code here looks reasonable otherwise.  It's a little bit of a
shame that this is *ONLY* for BROADWELL_X for now, but I assume you were
just conservative about it because that's all you have to test on.
