The details of this change are OK, but I don't think it should have gone in
before we approve any code using HAS_RTM.  It's far from clear that we will
do so any time soon, and this adds startup overhead (an extra cpuid) to
every run for no benefit to any code that is in or near approval.


Thanks,
Roland
