OK, I set it up with __setup_cpu_null.  An updated patch follows.

It falls out from this that we can replace the do-nothing routines
__setup_cpu_power3 and __setup_cpu_power4 with __setup_cpu_null also.
I'll post a separate patch for consideration.

Replaced the Cell processor specific routine __setup_cpu_be with
a new generic routine __setup_cpu_null.  __setup_cpu_be improperly
accessed the hypervisor page size configuration at SPR HID6.  Correct
behavior is for firmware, or if needed, platform setup code, to set
the correct page size.
