Subject: [PATCH 3/3] x86, CPU: Kill cpu_has_mp

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

It was used only for checking for some K7s which didn't have MP support,
see

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/How-to-Transform-an-Athlon-XP-into-an-Athlon-MP/24

and it was unconditionally set on 64-bit for no reason. Kill it.
