Fixup that comment while you're at it to be either ontop or be of the
#-type. The cool thing about the # comments is that gas puts them in the
.s output too, so you can find them again.

Ditto.

The naming convention of those looks really strange. The beginning is in
all caps and then small. Can we choose a convention pls.

And the comments are not really needed - the variable names already say
what they are.

Use a local var:

	unsigned long se_esp;

	...

	se_esp = (unsigned long)&get_cpu_entry_area(cpu)->tss + offsetofend(struct tss_struct, SYSENTER_stack);

	wrmsr(MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP, se_esp, 0);
