Subject: [PATCH v3 08/11] x86/cpu/intel: replace paravirt_enabled() for f00f work around

Use the harware subarch instead now that they are set. If we
want to test removing this work around on Xen we can do so
separatley as another independent change, for now we just want
to remove paravirt_enabled().

v3: fix 0-day-bot compile error on a randconfig, missing
    to include <asm/setup.h>
