    Subject[17/85] x86, amd: Use _safe() msr access for GartTlbWlk disable code
    2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    From: "Roedel, Joerg" <Joerg.Roedel@amd.com>

    commit d47cc0db8fd6011de2248df505fc34990b7451bf upstream.

    The workaround for Bugzilla:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012

    introduced a read and a write to the MC4 mask msr.

    Unfortunatly this MSR is not emulated by the KVM hypervisor
    so that the kernel will get a #GP and crashes when applying
    this workaround when running inside KVM.

    This issue was reported as:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35132

    and is fixed with this patch. The change just let the kernel
    ignore any #GP it gets while accessing this MSR by using the
    _safe msr access methods.
