> This commit fixes the issue reported in the BZ4745.
> The wrmsr was always writing 0 to the higher 32 bits of the msr
> register.
> This was due to a logical flaw in the code, where the input variable
> of
> type unsigned int was left shitted by 32 bits without explicitly
> converting it to a 64 bit value.
> 
> The issue is with the below statement.
> data = vedx << 32 | veax;
> Where the vedx which is an unsigned int, after left shifting by 32
> bits
> its value will be set to 0. Because of this the higher 32 bits of the
> MSR
> are always set to 0. This has been fixed by this commit.
