Patch file cleanup
Do a couple things here: - Split the mega-patches into individual patches. Should help with rebasing. - Make all patches 'git am' acceptable. There should be no functional or actual code differences from before

+Subject: [PATCH] x86: Restrict MSR access when module loading is restricted
+
+Writing to MSRs should not be allowed if module loading is restricted,
+since it could lead to execution of arbitrary code in kernel mode. Based
+on a patch by Kees Cook.
