As I mentioned in v8, I think this makes more sense as a "per CPU 
attribute".  You're already changing the MSR for each CPU when you 
change the global one.

I think the only global member should be whether CPB is supported and 
you can use this for the visibility of the file each CPU.

Could you justify why it's better as a global amd-ptate "driver 
attribute" still?
