-.SH NAME
-msr \- x86 CPU MSR access device
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I /dev/cpu/CPUNUM/msr
-provides an interface to read and write the model-specific
-registers (MSRs) of an x86 CPU.
-.I CPUNUM
-is the number of the CPU to access as listed in
-.IR /proc/cpuinfo .
-.P
-The register access is done by opening the file and seeking
-to the MSR number as offset in the file, and then
-reading or writing in chunks of 8 bytes.
-An I/O transfer of more than 8 bytes means multiple reads or writes
-of the same register.
-.P
-This file is protected so that it can be read and written only by the user
-.IR root ,
-or members of the group
-.IR root .
-.SH NOTES
-The
-.I msr
-driver is not auto-loaded.
-On modular kernels you might need to use the following command
-to load it explicitly before use:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-$ modprobe msr
-.EE
-.in
