__rdmsr() is the lowest-level primitive MSR read API, implemented in assembly code and returning an MSR value in a u64 integer, on top of which a convenience wrapper native_rdmsr() is defined to return an MSR value in two u32 integers. For some reason, native_rdmsrq() is not defined and __rdmsr() is directly used when it needs to return an MSR value in a u64 integer. Add the native_rdmsrq() helper, which is simply an alias of __rdmsr(), to make native_rdmsr() and native_rdmsrq() a pair of MSR read APIs.

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 reStructuredText 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.
