[PATCH 7/8] x86/msr: Remove old crusty comment

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm not sure any of this makes sense any more. The kernel only
runs on "586 and better". The comment about gcc optimization is
hopefully decades out of date too.

Really, the only reason to keep the wonky semantics where the
parameters get modified is to avoid all the churn to make them sane.
Not gcc. gcc was probably a bad reason, even back in the day because
MSRs are mostly very slow and have always been very slow. A few
extra bytes of register shuffling was probably never measurable.
