Roland Dreier e23a8b6a8f x86: Reduce verbosity of "PAT enabled" kernel message
On modern systems, the kernel prints the message

    x86 PAT enabled: cpu 0, old 0x7040600070406, new 0x7010600070106

once for every CPU.

This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a
64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:

    dmesg| grep 'PAT enabled' | wc
         64     704    5174

There is already a BUG() if non-boot CPUs have PAT capabilities
that don't match the boot CPU, so just print the message on the
boot CPU. (I kept the print after the wrmsrl() that enables PAT,
so that the log output continues to mean that the system survived
enabling PAT on the boot CPU)
