Jesús Diéguez Fernández a728cd4d1d 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.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
