rdmsr-wrmsr-error.patch

This patch has been included in Linux 2.0.26

Here is a patch that replaces the rdmsr and wrmsr with the correct .byte instructions.

(I tested this by upgrading the assembler to correctly the rdmsr/wrmsr instructions, and replaced the instructions with .bytes, as defined in binutils/include/opcodes/i386.h, and generated identical .o files)

I think that since just a few lines down in the same source file is another pentium instruction using .byte, we should not force everyone to upgrade assemblers just for this one patch that was added in 2.0.25)
