The existing helpers for reading/writing MSRs (rdmsr, wrmsr) require use
of the struct `msr_t`, which splits the MSR value into two 32 bit parts.
In many cases, where simple 32 bit or 64 bit values are written, this
bloats the code by unnecessarly having to use that struct.
Thus, introduce the helpers `msr_read` and `msr_write`, which take or
return `uint64_t` values, so the code condenses to a single line or two,
without having to deal with `msr_t`.
Example 1:
~~~
msr_t msr = {
.lo = read32((void *)(uintptr_t)0xfed30880),
.hi = 0,
};
msr.lo |= 1;
wrmsr(0x123, msr);
~~~
becomes
~~~
uint32_t foo = read32((void *)(uintptr_t)0xfed30880);
msr_write(0x123, foo | 1)
~~~
Example 2:
~~~
msr_t msr = rdmsr(0xff);
uint64_t msr_val = (msr.hi << 32) | msr.lo;
~~~
becomes
~~~
uint64_t msr_val = msr_read(0xff);
~~~
