So this is a copy of the above !SMP inline. What's wrong with providing:

 int rmwmsrl_safe(msr_no, clear_mask, set_mask)

in x86/lib/msr.c and make the !SMP variant of rdmsrl_safe_on_cpu() and that
variant for the SMP case a simple wrapper around it?

static void remote_rmwmsrl_safe(void *info)
{
        struct msr_action *ma = info;

        return rmwmsrl_safe(ma->msr, ma->clear_mask, ma->set_mask);
}

No gotos, no pointless code duplication. Just simple.

Thanks,
