    x86/xen, pat: Remove PAT table init code from Xen · 88ba2811
    Toshi Kani authored
    Xen supports PAT without MTRRs for its guests.  In order to
    enable WC attribute, it was necessary for xen_start_kernel()
    to call pat_init_cache_modes() to update PAT table before
    starting guest kernel.
    
    Now that the kernel initializes PAT table to the BIOS handoff
    state when MTRR is disabled, this Xen-specific PAT init code
    is no longer necessary.  Delete it from xen_start_kernel().
    
    Also change __init_cache_modes() to a static function since
    PAT table should not be tweaked by other modules.
