I would really appreciate it if we could work together on this; there needs to be new paravirtualization entry points for this. Consequently, I just updated and uploaded a git tree with the current status. It still needs porting to x86-64, however. The current cpuid/msr work is at: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/hpa/linux-2.6-cpuidmsr.git;a=summary -hpa
