[PATCH 1/3] x86/amd: Fold another DE_CFG edit into amd_init_de_cfg()
Posted by Andrew Cooper 1 week, 3 days ago
Fam12h processors aren't SMT-capable so there are no race condition worries
with this path.  Nevertheless, group it together with the other DE_CFG
modifications.

I apparently couldn't count how many examples we had editing DE_CFG...

With this, ...

... isn't this more like Amends:? Aiui this wouldn't need backporting.

Are you deliberately getting rid of the log message?

And I assume it is deliberate that the adjustment no longer is done when we're
running virtualized ourselves?
