This collides with the NMI watchdog setup: smp_callin() calls
setup_local_APIC() _before_ calling smp_store_cpu_info(), and
hence you write zero again to an MSR possibly already in use.
Since setup_k7_watchdog() itself does the clearing of the MSRs
in question already, I would think that the most simple
adjustment to your patch would be to make the condition

if (nmi_watchdog != NMI_LOCAL_APIC&&  c->x86<  0x14) {

If you agree (and Keir doesn't object), I would commit it that way.

Sounds good.

Sounds good to me too. Acked
Thanks,
