[PATCH v10 5/5] x86/cpufeature: enable RING3MWAIT for Knights Mill

Show all headers | View raw

From: Piotr Luc <piotr.luc@intel.com>

This patch enables ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT for Intel Xeon Phi
codenamed Knights Mill. We can't guarantee that this (KNM)
will be the last CPU model that needs this hack.
But, we do recognize that this is far from optimal,
and there is an effort to ensure we don't keep doing
extending this hack forever.
