[PATCH] i386 mce check capability

[PATCH] i386 mce check capability

[Joachim Deguara]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 181 bytes --]

Currently the i386 architecture checks the family for mce capability and this removes that and uses the CPUID information.  Tested on a K8 revE and a family10h processor.

This eliminates checking of a set AMD procesor family if mce is 
allowed and relies on the information being in CPUID.
