+Here we put the `MSR_EFER` flag (which is defined in [arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.16/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h)) in the `ecx` register and execute the `rdmsr` instruction which reads the [MSR](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-specific_register) register. After `rdmsr` executes, the resulting data is stored in `edx:eax` according to the `MSR` register specified in `ecx`. We check the current `EFER_LME` bit, transfer it into the carry flag and update the bit, all with the `btsl` instruction. Then we write data from `edx:eax` back to the `MSR` register with the `wrmsr` instruction.
