[Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux/x86-64: fix Dom0 boot on AMD K8 CPUs

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The workaround in question here should be (and is being) applied by the
hypervisor (which doesn't allow any guest - including Dom0 - to write
other than all zeroes or all ones into MCi_CTL).

As usual, written and tested on 2.6.31-rc4 and made apply to the 2.6.18
tree without further testing.
