  [PATCH v2 1/4] Add R3MWAIT register and bit to msr-info.h Grzegorz Andrejczuk <grzegorz.andrejczuk@intel.com> - 2016-10-12 14:20 +0200

#1499505 — [PATCH v2 1/4] Add R3MWAIT register and bit to msr-info.h

Intel Xeon Phi x200 (codenamed Knights Landing) has MSR
MISC_THD_FEATURE_ENABLE 0x140.

Setting its 2nd bit make MONITOR and MWAIT instructions do not cause
invalid-opcode exception.

This commit adds this register prefixed by PHI and bit to msr-info.h
