[PATCH v4 10/10] xen: mask the MTRR feature from the cpuid

From: stefano . stabellini
Date: Tue Oct 19 2010 - 07:18:17 EST


From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We don't want Linux to think that the cpu supports MTRRs when running
under Xen because MTRR operations could only be performed through
hypercalls.
