Modern CPUs all share the same MTRR interface implemented via
generic_mtrr_ops.

At several places in MTRR code this generic interface is deduced via
is_cpu(INTEL) tests, which is only working due to X86_VENDOR_INTEL
being 0 (the is_cpu() macro is testing mtrr_if->vendor, which isn't
explicitly set in generic_mtrr_ops).

Fix that by replacing the is_cpu(INTEL) tests with testing for mtrr_if
to be &generic_mtrr_ops.

Replace with:

"Test the generic CPU feature X86_FEATURE_MTRR instead."

From previous review which you've missed to incorporate:

"Since you're touching this function, you might simply expand its body in
its only call site in mtrr_bp_init(), put a comment above the expanded
code and remove that function.

That is, if we're going to do the ->var_regs thing."


Oh, sorry. Will do it.
