Subject: [PATCH v8 8/9] x86/mtrr: Avoid repeated save of MTRRs on boot-time CPU bringup

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@...zon.co.uk>

There's no need to repeatedly save the BSP's MTRRs for each AP being
brought up at boot time. And no need to use smp_call_function_single()
even for the one time they do need to be saved.
