Subject: [PATCH] x86/lib/memmove: Decouple ERMS from FSRM
Up until now it was perceived that FSRM is an improvement to ERMS and
thus it was made dependent on latter.
However, there are AMD BIOSes out there which allow for disabling of
either features and this preventing kernels from booting due to the CMP
disappearing and thus breaking the logic in the memmove() function.
Similar observation happens on some VM migration scenarios.
Patch the proper sequences depending on which feature is enabled.

Now [PATCH V3 2/4] has a conflict with commit
5d1dd961e74334a2178264193ea813d44ce5e725
Except the conflict it fixed the issue disabling ERMS in AMD BIOSes.
