[PATCH] x86_64: Remove unused AMD K8 C stepping flag
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
X86_FEATURE_K8_C was a synthetic Linux CPUID flag that was used for some
code optimizations in Opteron C stepping or later. But support for pre C
stepping optimizations has been removed, so this isn't needed anymore.
