Here we put `MSR_EFER` flag (which defined in the [arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/msr-index.h](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/msr-index.h#L7)) to the `ecx` register and call `rdmsr` instruction which reads [MSR](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-specific_register) register. After `rdmsr` executed, we will have result data in the `edx:eax` which depends on `ecx` value. We check `EFER_LME` bit with `btsl` instruction and write data from `eax` to the `MSR` register with `wrmsr` instruction.
