Thanks for testing. Meanwhile, I noticed that the other places where
rdmsr_on_cpus() gets called with non-contigious cpumasks need fixing
too. Here's a version that takes care of that, I'd be nice if you could
give it a run too (patch against today's upstream). You could also
enforce the module loading by setting 'ecc_enable_override=1' to verify
the other rdmsr_on_cpus calls.

Thanks.
