If CPUID.(EAX=14H,ECX=0):EBX[3]=1,
"indicates support of MTC timing packet and suppression of COFI-based packets."
Per 31.2.5.4 Branch Enable (BranchEn),
"If BranchEn is not set, then relevant COFI packets (TNT, TIP*, FUP, MODE.*)
are suppressed."
I think if the COFI capability is suppressed, the software can't set the
BranchEn bit, right ?
