Subject: [PATCH 13/15] x86/cpu: Make CONFIG_X86_CX8 unconditional
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 09:47:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251214084710.3606385-14-mingo@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251214084710.3606385-1-mingo@kernel.org>

I.e. it's a boot time requirement for the CPU to support it.
