[PATCH 23 of 38] xen-dom0: only selectively disable cpu features

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Thu Nov 13 2008 - 14:40:41 EST


Dom0 kernels actually want most of the CPU features to be enabled.
Some, like MCA/MCE, are still handled by Xen itself.

We leave APIC enabled even though we don't really have a functional
local apic so that the ACPI code will parse the corresponding tables
properly.
