    x86: Remove "x86 CPU features in debugfs" (CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG) · b1600918
    H. Peter Anvin authored
    CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG, which provides some parsed versions of the x86
    CPU configuration via debugfs, has caused boot failures on real
    hardware.  The value of this feature has been marginal at best, as all
    this information is already available to userspace via generic
    interfaces.
    
    Causes crashes that have not been fixed + minimal utility -> remove.
    
    See the referenced LKML thread for more information.
