How can I change cr0 register in redhat system

[Peter Teoh]

u have to put the asm code in kernel module, and load it via "insmod" and
when it execute, it will affect all the processes .....and btw, your
version is dangerous....normally people will always query the latest value
of Cr0, and then OR with the value they want to modify.   below is one that
worked:
