The MCx_MISC0[BlkPtr] field was used on legacy systems to hold a register offset for the next MCx_MISC* register. In this way, an implementation-specific number of registers can be discovered at runtime. The MCAX/SMCA register space simplifies this by always including the MCx_MISC[1-4] registers. The MCx_MISC0[BlkPtr] field is used to indicate (true/false) whether any MCx_MISC[1-4] registers are present. Currently, MCx_MISC0[BlkPtr] is checked early and cached to be used during sysfs init later. This is unnecessary as the MCx_MISC0 register is read again later anyway. Remove the smca_banks_map variable as it is effectively redundant, and use a direct register/bit check instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
