Title and Intent: Clearly state the purpose of the function in the first 
sentence
/*
  * Attempt to get the SynIC register value.
  *
  * Not all paravisors support reading SynIC registers, so this function
  * may fail. The caller must ensure that it is executed on the target
  * CPU.
  *
  * Returns: The SynIC register value or ~0ULL on failure.
  * Sets err to -ENODEV if the provided register is not a valid SynIC
  * MSR.

ditto.
