Ahh, I forgot this is non-SGX code.  It's mucking with all kinds of
other stuff in the same MSR.  Oh, well, I guess that's what you get for
dumping a bunch of refactoring in the same patch as the new code.

... yes, so you're breaking out the fix into a separate patch,.

Got it.  I was thinking this was in the SGX code, not in the generic CPU
setup code.
