[PATCH] x86-64: also clear _PAGE_GLOBAL from __supported_pte_mask if !cpu_has_pge

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Fri Jan 23 2015 - 03:35:22 EST


Not just setting it when the feature is available is for consistency,
and may allow Xen to drop its custom clearing of the flag (unless it
needs it cleared earlier than this code executes). Note that the change
is benign to ix86, as the flag starts out clear there.
