[PATCH] x86: fix disabling XSAVE feature when CPUID level is capped

From: Chuck Ebbert
Date: Mon Nov 24 2014 - 16:09:45 EST


When the x86 XSAVE CPU feature is disabled because of capped CPUID level,
disable the dependent features the same way as the "noxsave" command line
option.

Without this fix, the raid6 code oopses in the speed test when it tries to
test the AVX functions with a capped CPUID level.

Compile tested only. I don't have an AVX-capable machine to test on.
