[PATCH v7 7/7] xen/x86: Don't try to set PCE bit in CR4

From: Boris Ostrovsky
Date: Mon Aug 10 2015 - 16:35:51 EST


Since VPMU code emulates RDPMC instruction with RDMSR and because hypervisor
does not emulate it there is no reason to try setting CR4's PCE bit (and the
hypervisor will warn on seeing it set).
