    x86: handle PAT more like other CPU features · 75a04811

    Impact: Cleanup
    
    When PAT was originally introduced, it was handled specially for a few
    reasons:
    
    - PAT bugs are hard to track down, so we wanted to maintain a
      whitelist of CPUs.
    - The i386 and x86-64 CPUID code was not yet unified.
    
    Both of these are now obsolete, so handle PAT like any other features,
    including ordinary feature blacklisting due to known bugs.
