Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86: Add another set of MSR accessor functions

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

We very often need to set or clear a bit in an MSR as a result of doing
some sort of a hardware configuration. Add generic versions of that
repeated functionality in order to save us a bunch of duplicated code in
the early CPU vendor detection/config code.
