[PATCH] Double x86 initialise fix.
For many moons, we've been executing identify_cpu() on the boot processor twice on SMP kernels. This is harmless, but has a few downsides.. - Extra cruft in bootlog/dmesg - Spawns one too many timers for the mcheck handler - possibly other wasteful things.. This seems to do the right thing here, and has been acked (after some minor squibbles) on l-k.
