Subject: [ 21/82] x86, amd, xen: Avoid NULL pointer paravirt references

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

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

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad@...nok.org>

commit 1ab46fd319bcf1fcd9fb6311727d532b580e4eba upstream.

Stub out MSR methods that aren't actually needed.  This fixes a crash
as Xen Dom0 on AMD Trinity systems.  A bigger patch should be added to
remove the paravirt machinery completely for the methods which
apparently have no users!
