Subject: x86/AMD: Apply erratum 665 on machines without a BIOS fix
From: Emanuel Czirai <icanrealizeum@gmail.com>
commit d1992996753132e2dafe955cccb2fb0714d3cfc4 upstream.
AMD F12h machines have an erratum which can cause DIV/IDIV to behave
unpredictably. The workaround is to set MSRC001_1029[31] but sometimes
there is no BIOS update containing that workaround so let's do it
ourselves unconditionally. It is simple enough.
