Unknown word [passsed] in commit message.
Use a spellchecker pls.

10x when reading percpu vars vs MSR reads?
Oh well.

I feel ya but that function will warn once, return 0 when the @dr number is
outta bounds and that 0 will still get used as an address mask.
I think you really wanna return negative on error and the caller should not
continue in that case.

Why?
Because of the DR0 and then DR1 being in a different MSR range?
Who cares, make it simple:
MSR_F16H_DR0_ADDR_MASK,
MSR_F16H_DR1_ADDR_MASK,
MSR_F16H_DR1_ADDR_MASK + 1,
MSR_F16H_DR1_ADDR_MASK + 2
and add a comment if you want to denote the non-contiguous range but meh.

Do that at function entry:
int cpu = smp_processor_id();
and use cpu here.
