Subject: [016/165] x86, cpufeature: Fix cpuid leaf 7 feature detection

2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
Content-Length: 947

From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com>

commit 2494b030ba9334c7dd7df9b9f7abe4eacc950ec5 upstream.

CPUID leaf 7, subleaf 0 returns the maximum subleaf in EAX, not the
number of subleaves.  Since so far only subleaf 0 is defined (and only
the EBX bitfield) we do not need to qualify the test.
