    haswell: keep ROM cache enabled
    
    The MP code on haswell was mirroring the BSPs MTRRs. In addition it
    was cleaning up the ROM cache so that the MTRR register values were
    the same once the OS was booted. Since the hyperthread sibling of
    the BSP was going through this path the ROM cache was getting torn
    down once the hyperthread was brought up.
    
    That said, there was no differnce in observed boot time keeping the
    ROM cache enabled.
