x86: do not allow to optimize flag_is_changeable_p() (rev. 2)
The flag_is_changeable_p() is used by
has_cpuid_p() which can return different results
in the code sequence below:
if (!have_cpuid_p())
identify_cpu_without_cpuid(c);
/* cyrix could have cpuid enabled via c_identify()*/
if (!have_cpuid_p())
return;
Otherwise, the gcc 3.4.6 optimizes these two calls
into one which make the code not working correctly.
Cyrix cpus have the CPUID instruction enabled before
the second call to the have_cpuid_p() but
it is not detected due to the gcc optimization.
Thus the ARR registers (mtrr like) are not detected
on such a cpu.
