From: Dave Hansen <dave.han...@linux.intel.com>
This sets the bit in 'cr4' to actually enable the protection
keys feature. We also include a boot-time disable for the
feature "nopku".
Seting X86_CR4_PKE will cause the X86_FEATURE_OSPKE cpuid
bit to appear set. At this point in boot, identify_cpu()
has already run the actual CPUID instructions and populated
the "cpu features" structures. We need to go back and
re-run identify_cpu() to make sure it gets updated values.
We *could* simply re-populate the 11th word of the cpuid
data, but this is probably quick enough.
Also note that with the cpu_has() check and X86_FEATURE_PKU
present in disabled-features.h, we do not need an #ifdef
for setup_pku().
