There were paravirt_ops hooks for the full register set variant of
{rd,wr}msr_safe which are actually not used by anyone anymore. Remove
them to make the code cleaner and avoid silent breakages when the pvops
members were uninitialized. This has been boot-tested natively and under
Xen with PVOPS enabled and disabled on one machine.

The macro was defined in the 32-bit path as well - breaking the
build on 32-bit platforms:

msr-reg.S used the :req option on a macro argument, which wasn't
supported by gas 2.16.1 (but apparently by some earlier versions of
gas, just to be confusing.) It isn't necessary, so just remove it.

Add CFI annotations for native_{rd,wr}msr_safe_regs().
Simplify the 64-bit implementation: we don't allow the upper half
registers to be set, and so we can use them to carry state across the
operation.

native_{rdmsr,wrmsr}_safe_regs are two new interfaces which allow
presetting of a subset of eight x86 GPRs before executing the rd/wrmsr
instructions. This is needed at least on AMD K8 for accessing an erratum
workaround MSR.
Originally based on an idea by H. Peter Anvin.
