you can add RDMSR emulation in Wine
Please will you clarify the sitwation on adding RDMSR emulation to Wine ? For this to be any better then my current work-a-round the emulation would need to call mknod(), I doubt if you would accept such a patch, but I feel I would ask.
If you want to write a patch that opens /dev/cpu/msr if it exists, it might be accepted. Anything that calls mknod() wouldn't, because that's a silly thing to do. We don't call mknod() when opening disk or serial devices either, just like we don't call mount() when accessing /proc. These are part of the standard system setup, based on sysadmin policies, user apps have no business messing with that.
