mark these a _GPL export. Perhaps even mark the symbol deprecated, to be unexported once we fix raid6.

read / write cr0 must not be GPL, since kernel_fpu_end uses them and is inline. clts I don't think matters.


+EXPORT_SYMBOL(wbinvd);
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(raw_safe_halt);
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(halt);
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(apic_write);
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(apic_read);

these should be _GPL too. If any module uses it and breaks a user's box we need that big licensing hint to be able to debug them ...

Perhaps also, MSRs are too dangerous for binary modules to be messing with.

Agree on halt - but wbinvd can theoretically be used for device mapped memory consistency.
