Right. As it does a system call in Linux, this should be independent of the CPU arch

Do you mean direct access to the hardware bypassing the OS? I thought
that wasn't possible in Windows?

I don't know how the dynamic library call in Windows works.

AFAIR, all modern X86 CPUs feature a CPU register and an ASM instruction for that purpose. As this is just a read, there is no reason for this ASM instruction to be protected in any way.

I'll recheck ASAP.
