thanks for testing. As a reply to that follow two patches for you to
test. The one is adding some more msr functionality and the second is
based on your original one which should in addition turn off the cpuid
bit. Please apply, compile, reboot and run the small app again to verify
that ECX[0] is now off.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks.
