/*
 * Disabling TSX is not a trivial business.
 *
 * First of all, there's a CPUID bit: X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT
 * which says that TSX is practically disabled (all transactions are
 * aborted by default). When that bit is set, the kernel unconditionally
 * disables TSX.
 *
 * In order to do that, however, it needs to dance a bit:
 *
 * 1. The first method to disable it is through MSR_TSX_FORCE_ABORT and
 * the MSR is present only when *two* CPUID bits are set:
 *
 * - X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT
 * - X86_FEATURE_TSX_FORCE_ABORT
 *
 * 2. The second method is for CPUs which do not have the above-mentioned
 * MSR: those use a different MSR - MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL and disable TSX
 * through that one. Those CPUs can also have the initially mentioned
 * CPUID bit X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT set and for those the same strategy
 * applies: TSX gets disabled unconditionally.
 *
 * When either of the two methods are present, the kernel disables TSX and
 * clears the respective RTM and HLE feature flags.
 *
 * An additional twist in the whole thing presents late microcode loading
 * which, when done, may cause for the X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT CPUID
 * bit to be set after the update.
 *
 * A subsequent hotplug operation on any logical CPU except the BSP will
 * cause for the supported CPUID feature bits to get re-detected and, if
 * RTM and HLE get cleared all of a sudden, but, userspace did consult
 * them before the update, then funny explosions will happen. Long story
 * short: the kernel doesn't modify CPUID feature bits after booting.
 *
 * That's why, this function's call in init_intel() doesn't clear the
 * feature flags.
