I know it's mildly obvious but could you please add a problem statement
to these changelogs, even if it's just one little sentence?

So "ALWAYS make a changelog a complete story", right?

And that would be helpful for long term maintainability.


        For some reason, there are some TSC-related functions in the
        MSR header even though there is a tsc.h header.

        Relocate rdtsc{,_ordered}() and subsequently remove the
        inclusion of <asm/msr.h> in <asm/tsc.h>. Consequently,
        <asm/msr.h> must be included in several source files that
        previously did not require it.

But I agree with the concept, so with this fixed:

TBH, I did hesitate to touch so many files just to include msr.h.

But because tsc.h doesn't reference any MSR definitions, it doesn't make sense to include msr.h in tsc.h. I still did the big changes.

Thank you very much!
