Jesús Diéguez Fernández 46f5d51343 msr: Add new MSR modules (rdmsr/wrmsr)
In order to be able to read from and write to model-specific registers,
two new modules are added. They are i386 specific, as the cpuid module.

rdmsr module registers the command rdmsr that allows reading from a MSR.
wrmsr module registers the command wrmsr that allows writing to a MSR.

wrmsr module is disabled if UEFI secure boot is enabled.

Please note that on SMP systems, interacting with a MSR that has a scope
per hardware thread, implies that the value only applies to the
particular cpu/core/thread that ran the command.

Also, if you specify a reserved or unimplemented MSR address, it will
cause a general protection exception (which is not currently being
handled) and the system will reboot.
