I quickly applied it on top of your branch, but I am getting:

```
$ wget https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87v8hq35sk.ffs@tglx/raw
$ patch -p1 < raw
$ make
[…]
   LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
ld: arch/x86/kernel/head_64.o: in function `secondary_startup_64_no_verify':
(.head.text+0xbf): undefined reference to `read_apicid_msr'
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:35: vmlinux] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:1249: vmlinux] Error 2
```


Kind regards,

Paul
