That needs more data. Such as the reason for it, the crash
tombstone, and an analysis of the bug.

But at this point I am not sure what we are going to do.

I think Peter leans towards ripping the .rdmsr_regs/wdmsr_regs
function out altogether (so altering the amd_rdmsr... to use the
.rdmsr/.wrdmsr). At which point I think this would all work
just fine?

I am tempted to write a patch that checks all the pv-cpu-ops
to see if there are any that are NULL and throw a warning so
that this does not hit us in the future - to be at least more
proactive about this sort of thing.
