Here we can see the `wrmsr` instruction which loads the data from `edx:eax` into the [Model specific register](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-specific_register) pointed by the `ecx` register. In our case the model specific register is `MSR_GS_BASE` which contains the base address of the memory segment pointed by the `gs` register. `edx:eax` points to the address of the `initial_gs` which is the base address of our `irq_stack_union`.
