Missed feedback from v2 saying this must /only/ be built
on x86 architectures. It fails to build on others due
to the ASM usage eg

The initial printfs are pointless, simplify to

As mentioned on previous review ,this is inconsistent and
should use error_report.
Having said that, what's the point in the CPU affinity
checking ?
Whether or not this process runs on the requested CPU appears
irrelevant - it can query the MSR from any CPU, using the file
it is able to open. The kernel doesn't seem to limit this AFAICS.
So i thin this check can go.

get_peerpid should be made to retun -1 on error such that you
can do:
r = qio_channel_get_peerpid(...);
if (r < 0) {
error_report_err(locla_err);
goto out;

This should only be checking 'r < 0', when that's true,
'local_err' will be assumed to be non-NULL

Not required, sinec you have the next line giving the read error meessage:

Mis aligned indent - match with the 'Q' of the line above

This needs to be 'TRUE', otherwise the callback gets unregistered

As mentioned in previous v2, if this drosp user/group, then
it will be unable to open the MSR device file. Must always
pass '0' for the uid & gid.

'user' and 'group' args should be removed entirely, and from
