Yeah, I had initially X86_BUG_MMIO_UNKNOWN set unconditionally on all.

Then I thought I should set it only on older but as dhansen said, Intel
is going in and out of servicing period so we better set it on all
initially and then clear it when the CPU is not in the vuln blacklist.

i.e., remove this check.

You're welcome. I'm assuming you're gonna finish it or should I?

Thx.
