There was OpenVZ specific bug rendering some cpufreq drivers unusable
on SMP. In short, when cpufreq code thinks it confined itself to
needed cpu by means of set_cpus_allowed() to execute rdmsr, some
"virtual cpu" feature can migrate process to anywhere. This triggers
bugons and does wrong things in general.
This got fixed by introducing rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu executing
rdmsr and wrmsr on given physical cpu by means of
smp_call_function_single().
Dave Jones mentioned cpufreq might be not only user of rdmsr_on_cpu()
and wrmsr_on_cpu(), so I'm going to put them into arch/i386/lib/
(after patch gets some more testing othen than compile and UP run)
Does this looks OK?
