extlog_init() uses rdmsrl() to read an MSR, which on older CPUs
provokes a error message at boot:
unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0x179 at rIP: 0xcd047307 (native_read_msr+0x7/0x40)
Use rdmsrl_safe() instead, and return -ENODEV if it fails.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
