Subject: [PATCH 3.16 031/131] x86/cpu: Make alternative_msr_write work for
 32-bit code

3.16.59-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@...gle.com>

commit 5f2b745f5e1304f438f9b2cd03ebc8120b6e0d3b upstream.

Cast val and (val >> 32) to (u32), so that they fit in a
general-purpose register in both 32-bit and 64-bit code.

[ tglx: Made it u32 instead of uintptr_t ]
