Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/cpu/intel: Clear cache self-snoop capability in CPUs with known errata

Processors which have self-snooping capability can handle conflicting
memory type across CPUs by snooping its own cache. However, there exists
CPU models in which having conflicting memory types still leads to
unpredictable behavior, machine check errors, or hangs. Clear this feature
to prevent its use.
