[PATCH 26 of 38] xen: forcibly disable PAT support

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Thu Nov 13 2008 - 14:47:58 EST


From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>

Xen imposes a particular PAT layout on all paravirtual guests which
does not match the layout Linux would like to use.

Force PAT to be disabled until this is resolved.
