Well, for dom0 it would be best if we expose it.  For domU it would be
fine to use rdmsr_safe() in Linux.

I think we need to expose for the hardware domain, at which point
returning all 0s for domUs is kind of a very small nit.

I agree that Linux should use rdmsr_safe(), I can send a patch to that
effect, but I still think there's no harm in returning all 0s on domUs
instead of #GP.

Thanks, Roger.
