x86: clean up comments wrt. rd{msr|tsc|pmc}
The rdmsr instruction(et al) for i386 and x86-64 are semantically same. The only difference is how gcc interpret constraint "A" for these targets. Signed-off-by: Jike Song <albcamus@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

/*
|

* i386 calling convention returns 64-bit value in edx:eax, while
|
||||
* x86_64 returns at rax. Also, the "A" constraint does not really
|
||||
* mean rdx:rax in x86_64, so we need specialized behaviour for each
|
||||
* architecture
|
||||
* both i386 and x86_64 returns 64-bit value in edx:eax, but gcc's "A"
|
||||
* constraint has different meanings. For i386, "A" means exactly
|
||||
* edx:eax, while for x86_64 it doesn't mean rdx:rax or edx:eax. Instead,
|
||||
* it means rax *or* rdx.
