It's a lot of effort for questionable value isn't it. And many of your
patches so far have contained bugs, and in some cases decreased code
readability by needing to manually merge/split values to be able to make use
of rdmsrl/wrmsrl, so it's not like it's even strictly improving the code.
Frankly, it smells like busy work.
