This implements reading of the
EBL_CR_POWERON
MSR, which is documented in chapter 2.22 of Intel's Software Developer's Manual Volume 4. Technically some of its bits are supposed to be writable so this implementation is not entirely accurate, but to my knowledge neither the kernel nor the XDK ever access this MSR.I intend to use this in nxdk in the future to calculate TSC frequency with perfect accuracy.
The value returned was taken from a stock Xbox CPU.
Testing is simple and can be done with a small nxdk app (might need a
#include <intrin.h>
):I only implemented it for the TCG backend, I hope that's ok.
