Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Remove unneeded MKTME detection

From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@...el.com>

MKTME detection was added in anticipation of full kernel support
that never followed. Aside from just good housekeeping, this
cleanup is inspired by users who are confused by the TME/MKTME
messaging during boot.

The first patch cleans up the TME & MKTME detection code and the
second patch removes the unused pconfig code.

Testing was done on a platform supporting MKTME using the BIOS
option to enable/disable MKTME prior to boot.


Alison Schofield (2):
  x86/cpu: Remove useless work in detect_tme_early()
  x86/pconfig: Remove unused MKTME pconfig code
