x86: detect scattered cpuid features earlier Some extra CPU features such as ARAT is needed in early boot so that x86_init function pointers can be set up properly. http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/18/519 At start_kernel() level, this patch moves init_scattered_cpuid_features() from check_bugs() to setup_arch() -> early_cpu_init() which is earlier than platform specific x86_init layer setup.
