Subject: [PATCH v2 03/16] x86/mce/amd: Remove smca_banks_map

The MCx_MISC0[BlkPtr] field was used on legacy systems to hold a
register offset for the next MCx_MISC* register. In this way, an
implementation-specific number of registers can be discovered at
runtime.

The MCAX/SMCA register space simplifies this by always including
the MCx_MISC[1-4] registers. The MCx_MISC0[BlkPtr] field is used to
indicate (true/false) whether any MCx_MISC[1-4] registers are present.
But it does not indicate which ones nor how many. Therefore, all the
registers are accessed and their bits are checked.

AMD systems generally enforce a Read-as-Zero/Writes-Ignored policy for
unused registers. Therefore, there is no harm to read an unused
register. This is already done in practice for most of the MCx_MISC
registers.

Remove the smca_banks_map variable as it is effectively redundant.
