For this I was expecting a v2 or a rationale why not.

No, it was more an implicit question of whether Paolo had considered a
different placement?

Since there is a uint64_t msr_ia32_misc_enable visible as precedent, I
was thinking it would be better for consistency to do such movements as
follow-up, if at all. However checking on that now, I do not have any
msr_* there in my repo, and it is after CPU_COMMON, thus not reset -
Paolo, what do you think?
