[PATCH] x86, cpu: X86_FEATURE_NOPL should be disabled on 32-bitonly

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Sun Oct 03 2010 - 11:22:20 EST


ba0593bf553c450a03dbc5f8c1f0ff58b778a0c8 cleared the aforementioned
cpuid bit only on 32-bit due to various problems with Virtual PC. This
somehow got lost during the 32- + 64-bit merge so restore the feature
bit on 64-bit.
