x86/cpu/intel: Replace PAT erratum model/family magic numbers with symbolic IFM references
There's an erratum that prevents the PAT from working correctly:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/pentium-dual-core-specification-update.pdf
# Document 316515 Version 010
The kernel currently disables PAT support on those CPUs, but it
does it with some magic numbers.
Replace the magic numbers with the new "IFM" macros.
Make the check refer to the last affected CPU (INTEL_CORE_YONAH)
rather than the first fixed one. This makes it easier to find the
documentation of the erratum since Intel documents where it is
broken and not where it is fixed.
I don't think the Pentium Pro (or Pentium II) is actually affected.
But the old check included them, so it can't hurt to keep doing the
same. I'm also not completely sure about the "Pentium M" CPUs
(models 0x9 and 0xd). But, again, they were included in in the
old checks and were close Pentium III derivatives, so are likely
affected.
While we're at it, revise the comment referring to the erratum name
and making sure it is a quote of the language from the actual errata
doc. That should make it easier to find in the future when the URL
inevitably changes.
Why bother with this in the first place? It actually gets rid of one
of the very few remaining direct references to c->x86{,_model}.
No change in functionality intended.
