[PATCH] pv/pvh: disable MTRR feature on cpuid for Dom0

[Roger Pau Monne]

MTRR is not available for PV/PVH Dom0, so prevent cpuid from
reporting it as an available feature.

Some misunderstanding perhaps? PV certainly has MTRR support for
Dom0 - see XENPF_*_memtype.

Thus clearing this flag should be limited to PVH.

OK, my bad, I was looking for a PV implementation of struct mtrr_ops in
the pvops kernel, but Linux pvops doesn't use MTRR at all, also none of
the XENPF_*_memtype ops seem to be used.

Will resend now with this fixed, thanks.
