From: H. Peter Anvin Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:17:05 +0000 (-0800) Subject: x86: handle PAT more like other CPU features X-Git-Tag: v2.6.30-rc3~72^2~31^2~2^3~2 X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=75a048119e76540d73132cfc8e0fa0c0a8bb6c83;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git x86: handle PAT more like other CPU features Impact: Cleanup When PAT was originally introduced, it was handled specially for a few reasons: - PAT bugs are hard to track down, so we wanted to maintain a whitelist of CPUs. - The i386 and x86-64 CPUID code was not yet unified. Both of these are now obsolete, so handle PAT like any other features, including ordinary feature blacklisting due to known bugs. Signed-off-by: H.
