From 99fb4d349db7e7dacb2099c5cc320a9e2d31c1ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:30:41 +0100 Subject: x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs, fix Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup. So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that support it.
