Remove support for CPUID on ia64 #19

Closed nbraud closed 5 years ago

nbraud commented 5 years ago

The current implementation simply fail to build (on Itanium) and the cpuid instruction on Itanium spreads out value differently than what 'cpuid' does on i386 and amd64, so the code would need to be worked out quite differently to work.

In the meantime, disabling CPUID support will make haveged use the default cache values on ia64.

PS: Another Debian patch, that has been around since 2011. Again, sent upstream in 2016, no reply.
