Subject: [PATCH 52/62] x86: Restrict MSR access when the kernel is locked down
Patch-mainline: No, submitted

References: fate#314486

Writing to MSRs should not be allowed if the kernel is locked down, since
it could lead to execution of arbitrary code in kernel mode.  Based on a
patch by Kees Cook.
