[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 10/10] xen: mask the MTRR feature from the cpuid

[stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We don't want Linux to think that the cpu supports MTRRs when running
under Xen because MTRR operations could only be performed through
hypercalls.
