  Use WARN_ON_ONCE for missing X86_FEATURE_NRIPS (2015-10-01 14:59:37 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
(Relatively) a lot of reverts, mostly.

Bugs have trickled in for a new feature in 4.2 (MTRR support in guests)
so I'm reverting it all; let's not make this -rc period busier for KVM
than it's been so far.  This covers the four reverts from me.

The fifth patch is being reverted because Radim found a bug in the
implementation of stable scheduler clock, *but* also managed to implement
the feature entirely without hypervisor support.  So instead of fixing
the hypervisor side we can remove it completely; 4.4 will get the new
implementation.
