[PATCH 06/16] xen: disable PAT

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>

Xen imposes a particular PAT layout on all paravirtual guests which
does not match the layout Linux would like to use.

Force PAT to be disabled until this is resolved.

[ Impact: disable PAT under Xen, due to incompatible configurations ]
