Intel? :-) Wow.

Thanks a lot!

Note, I fear I'll have to turn the static_cpu_has into cpu_has. The
alternatives code which initialize all static_cpu_has() things
is called from check_bugs() in start_kernel() which is way after
IRQs are enabled for the 1st time. irq_work_tick() has many opportunities
to run in between.
