How does that happen?
You have smp_call_function_many() sending IPIs to each CPU in the mask.
Doesn't look like avoidi
From: Kan Liang
Having msr_set/clear_bit on many cpus or given CPU can avoid extra
unnecessory IPIs and simplify MSR content manipulation, when it only
needs to flip a bit.
There is already msr_set/clear_bit, but missing the _on_cpu and _on_cpus
version.
