In the ARM architecture, there are no rdmsr and wrmsr instructions. 
In ARM, the system registers can only be accessed through msr and mrs, so the problem created by MSR driver (depend on rdmsr and wrmsr) in x86 is not necessarily present in ARM, which is very different from x86.
In addition, we want cross-platform compatabilities, and fill these gaps in the ARM.
