Having the 'msr' module is not always desirable on standard distros,
although since so many Geode drivers depend upon or have added
features if it's loaded then we might indeed consider some udev rule
to load it whenever a GX2 or LX is found.

It would also be desirable to test any change on non-OLPC platforms
e.g. DBE61, ION603, etc. before packaging any code that gets committed
to GIT as a release.
