From 75a048119e76540d73132cfc8e0fa0c0a8bb6c83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:17:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
