Subject: [patch 039/123] oprofile/x86: fix msr access to reserved counters

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------------

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@....com>

commit cfc9c0b450176a077205ef39092f0dc1a04e020a upstream.

During switching virtual counters there is access to perfctr msrs. If
the counter is not available this fails due to an invalid
address. This patch fixes this.
