thanks Thomas, i have applied your cleanup patch - looks good here too 
and it booted fine on a few boxes.

(i did a small cleanup: changed the define to static const int)

Peter, what are your plans for a more general cleanup and 32-bit/64-bit 
unification for the x86 CPU detection code - do you have any specific 
ideas already? I suspect we want it all to end up unified under 
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/, by moving the relevant bits of 
arch/x86/kernel/setup_64.c there, right? It is no small task for sure.
