[PATCH] pv/pvh: disable MTRR feature on cpuid for Dom0
MTRR is not available for PV/PVH Dom0, so prevent cpuid from reporting it as an available feature.

PV certainly has MTRR support for Dom0 - see XENPF_*_memtype.> --- a/xen/arch/x86/traps.c > +++ b/xen/arch/x86/traps.c > @@ -796,6 +796,7 @@ void pv_cpuid(struct cpu_user_regs *regs) > __clear_bit(X86_FEATURE_DS, &d); > __clear_bit(X86_FEATURE_ACC, &d); > __clear_bit(X86_FEATURE_PBE, &d); > + __clear_bit(X86_FEATURE_MTRR, &d);Thus clearing this flag should be limited to PVH.
