[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/AMD: Apply workaround for AMD F16h Erratum792

[Aravind Gopalakrishnan <Aravind.Gopalakrishnan@xxxxxxx>]

Workaround for the Erratum will be in BIOSes spun only after
Jan 2014 onwards. But initial production parts shipped in 2013
itself. Since there is a coverage hole, we should carry this fix
in software in case BIOS does not do the right thing or someone
is using old BIOS.

Refer to Revision Guide for AMD F16h models 00h-0fh, document 51810
Rev. 3.04, November2013 for details on the Erratum.

Tested the patch on Fam16h server platform and it works fine.
