Yinghai Lu 2ffb3501f6 x86: change MTRR_SANITIZER to def_bool y 
This option has been added in v2.6.26 as a default-disabled
feature and went through several revisions since then.

The feature fixes a wide range of MTRR setup problems that BIOSes
leave us with: slow system, slow Xorg, slow system when adding lots
of RAM, etc., so we want to enable it by default for v2.6.28.

See:

  [Bug 10508] Upgrade to 4GB of RAM messes up MTRRs
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10508

and the test results in:
