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. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
