[PATCH V37 13/29] x86/msr: Restrict MSR access when the kernel is locked down

[Matthew Garrett]

From: Matthew Garrett <mj...@srcf.ucam.org>

Writing to MSRs should not be allowed if the kernel is locked down, since
it could lead to execution of arbitrary code in kernel mode.  Based on a
patch by Kees Cook.
