[PATCH 1/1] perf/x86/intel/uncore: remove SBOX support for Broadwell server

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

There was a report that on some Broadwell-EP system writing any bit of
the SBOX PMU initialization MSR would #GP at boot. This did not happen
on all systems. My test systems booted fine.
Considering both DE and EP may have such issue, this patch removes SBOX
support for all Broadwell platforms.
