This patch checks whether SYSCFG DramModEn bit is clear by BIOS. Some buggy BIOS might set this bit to 1, which causes unexpected behavior on AMD platforms. This patch also increase family check for AMD CPUs when setting fixed MTRR ranges.

PS: If OK, please apply it to both xen-4.1 and xen-4.0 trees.
