Thanks for the patch, but ...
Before using MSR, you must first check that the cpu supports the
instruction, rd/wrmsr cause an oops on 486 or earlier. Also using an
invalid msr number causes an oops, so use rd/wrmsr_safe(). Finally, kdb
on x86_64 needs the commands as well, so move it to kdb/modules/kdbm_x86.c
(common i386/x86_64 code). Cleaned up patch + changelogs.
