    Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs
    
    rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we
    dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section
    does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup.
    
    So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that
    support it.
