when the driver is configured without DEBUG config flag on, the statement becomes:

    if (exp)
         ;

which with a good optimizer the code disappears altogether in the production condition. Only with DEBUGGING on will these outputs be generated.

thanks for the extra review eyes

An 'else' could be inserted, but it is only under DEBUG state for development purposes.  

BACKGROUND: The error checking of the pci config space read was added during the time when the kernel couldn't read the extended 4k config space via the AMD IOConfig port access function (12 bits of offset) not via MMCONFIG.

Hi,

thanks to all reviewers of the previous submission, here is the second
version of this series.

Highlights are the addition of two helpers to read/write MSRs on several
CPUs, denoted by a cpumask and using an array of MSR values per-CPU, as
Peter suggested. Since IMHO they look generic enough I've added them to
arch/x86/lib/msr-on-cpu.c (now renamed to msr.c).

Moreover, I've addressed all the issues raised from the previous series.
Please let me know should there be anything else remaining.

Thanks,
Boris.
