Per the discussion about FRED MSR writes with WRMSRNS instruction [1], use the alternatives mechanism to choose WRMSRNS when it's available, otherwise fallback to WRMSR. Remove the dependency on X86_FEATURE_WRMSRNS as WRMSRNS is no longer dependent on FRED. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/15f56e6a-6edd-43d0-8e83-bb6430096514@citrix.com/ Use DS prefix to pad WRMSR instead of a NOP. The prefix is ignored. At least that's the current information from the hardware folks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
