x86, mtrr: Assume SYS_CFG[Tom2ForceMemTypeWB] exists on all future AMD CPUs 

Instead of adapting the CPU family check in amd_special_default_mtrr()
for each new CPU family assume that all new AMD CPUs support the
necessary bits in SYS_CFG MSR.

Tom2Enabled is architectural (defined in APM Vol.2).
Tom2ForceMemTypeWB is defined in all BKDGs starting with K8 NPT.
In pre K8-NPT BKDG this bit is reserved (read as zero).

W/o this adaption Linux would unnecessarily complain about bad MTRR
settings on every new AMD CPU family, e.g.

[    0.000000] WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 4863MB of RAM.
