This is _not_ good enough reason to copy&paste. Just do it like this:

# clear_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_PAT);
#
# switch (c->x86_vendor) {
# case X86_VENDOR_AMD:
# if (c->x86 >= 0xf && c->x86 <= 0x11)
# set_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_PAT);
# break;
# case X86_VENDOR_INTEL:
# if (c->x86 == 0xF || (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model >= 15))
# set_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_PAT);
# break;
# }

And then, factor out code marked # into separate function, and call it
from all three places.
