Pls no. Not every MSR for every family. Only the 4 which are actually being used. We can't hold in here the full 32-bit MSR space.
The replacement of four define names is not the purpose of the proposed patch. The patch was prompted by the realization that these particular MSRs are so badly and inconsistently documented that it takes many hours of work and requires reading of literally a dozen PDFs to figure out what are their names, which CPUs have them, and what bits are known. Anyone who looks at only one document won't see the full picture. Patch does not document bits, but at least documents all MSR names and explains why documentation is so sparse. If you think it's not useful, so be it.
