If you want to write a patch that opens /dev/cpu/msr if it exists, it might be
accepted. Anything that calls mknod() wouldn't, because that's a silly thing to
do. We don't call mknod() when opening disk or serial devices either, just like
we don't call mount() when accessing /proc. These are part of the standard
system setup, based on sysadmin policies, user apps have no business messing
with that.
