x86, mtrr: Assume SYS_CFG[Tom2ForceMemTypeWB] exists on all future AMD CPUs
commit 3fdbf004c1706480a7c7fac3c9d836fa6df20d7d upstream.
Instead of adapting the CPU family check in amd_special_default_mtrr()
for each new CPU family assume that all new AMD CPUs support the
necessary bits in SYS_CFG MSR.
Tom2Enabled is architectural (defined in APM Vol.2).
Tom2ForceMemTypeWB is defined in all BKDGs starting with K8 NPT.
In pre K8-NPT BKDG this bit is reserved (read as zero).
W/o this adaption Linux would unnecessarily complain about bad MTRR
settings on every new AMD CPU family, e.g.
[ 0.000000] WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 4863MB of RAM.
