Subject[PATCH 2/9] x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c: Initialize Enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSBenhanced
Date
From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>

If kernel intends to use enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB, it must ensure
IA32_MISC_ENABLE.Fast_String_Enable (bit 0) is set and CPUID.(EAX=07H, ECX=0H):
EBX[bit 9] also reports 1.
