[PATCH] x86: UV2 BAU legacy mode

[Cliff Wickman]

From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@xxxxxxx>

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for tlb-shootdown
(selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2 broadcast descriptor format.
There is no need to clear the 'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware
always uses UV2 mode for selective broadcast.

But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the hardware
pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general broadcast.
So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.
