That's for 64-bit.

And that's 32-bit.

These were previously done in common_cpu_up() or do_boot_cpu(), which
means they were done not only for the wakeup_cpu_via_init_nmi() code
path, but also when we call apic->wakeup_secondary_cpu() (or _64()) for
the esoteric UV/NumaConnect machines.

Thanks for diagnosing it so quickly; I'll work up a subtly different
fix.
