Split locked access locks bus and degradates overall memory access
performance. When split lock detection feature is enumerated, we want to
enable the feature by default to find any split lock issue and then fix
the issue.

Either "split locked accesses lock" or "A split lock access locks".

Also, you need to go back and remove all the "we"'s.  Our friendly x86
maintainers prefer phrasing this like:

	 When split lock detection feature is enumerated, enable the 	
	feature...

Generally, the changelogs here are passable but pretty rough.  They have
a ton of issues like this and I'm sure they can be improved.  I'm sure
that with some love an attention they can be brought up to the highest
standards.

These are a bit overkill, but oh well.

Please make sure you've removed all the "#AC for split lock"
nomenclature in these patches.  It's acronym nonsense and there's no
reason to be so oblique.  Just say "split lock detection enabled".  This
also needs a proper prefix, like "x86/intel:".  Look around for examples.
