Andy Lutomirski 60d3450167 x86/cpu: Re-apply forced caps every time CPU caps are re-read
Calling get_cpu_cap() will reset a bunch of CPU features.  This will
cause the system to lose track of force-set and force-cleared
features in the words that are reset until the end of CPU
initialization.  This can cause X86_FEATURE_FPU, for example, to
change back and forth during boot and potentially confuse CPU setup.

To minimize the chance of confusion, re-apply forced caps every time
get_cpu_cap() is called.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
