Yep, that's done.  As long as the defaults are ok, the subarch doesn't
need to override them.  So I think that request is met.

i386 Transparent Paravirtualization Subarch Patch #1

This change encapsulates MSR register accessors and moves them into the
sub-architecture layer.  The goal is a clean, uniform interface that may
be redefined on new sub-architectures of i386.


I currently have nothing analgous for Xen, but this one looks sane.
