x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs, fix



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.
