So the optimal thing to do for that is to return an error to the calling
site which says "exception got handled" and then the *calling* site can
dump_stack().

And the old code did that:

static inline unsigned long long native_read_msr_safe(unsigned int msr,
                                                      int *err)
{
        DECLARE_ARGS(val, low, high);

        asm volatile("2: rdmsr ; xor %[err],%[err]\n"
                     "1:\n\t"
                     ".section .fixup,\"ax\"\n\t"
                     "3:  mov %[fault],%[err] ; jmp 1b\n\t"
                     ".previous\n\t"
                     _ASM_EXTABLE(2b, 3b)
                     : [err] "=r" (*err), EAX_EDX_RET(val, low, high)
                     : "c" (msr), [fault] "i" (-EIO));
