Hi, Ingo, thanks for your review,

Yes, 32-bit kernel should also do the save/restore operation. 
I'll adjust them to 64/32-bit common path.

MSR_IA32_THERM_CONTROL is available on Intel Pentium 4, Xeon, Pentium M and later
processors, so I think not all the 64/32-bit capable x86 CPUs have this
register. Maybe codes like the following would be more reasonable?

save:
ctxt->clock_modulation_saved = !rdmsrl_safe(MSR_IA32_THERM_CONTROL,
	&ctxt->clock_modulation);

restore:
if (ctxt->clock_modulation_saved)
	wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_THERM_CONTROL, ctxt->clock_modulation);

Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,
Yu
