Subject: x86: sidestep lguest problem by only building cmpxchg8b_emu for pre-Pentium Arjen's 79e1dd05d1a22 "x86: Provide an alternative() based cmpxchg64()" broke lguest, even on systems which have cmpxchg8b support. The emulation code gets used until alternatives get run, but it contains native instructions, not their paravirt alternatives. The simplest fix is to turn this code off except for 386 and 486 builds.
