hpa moved it (And some others) during his 2.3.99 big cleanup of setup.c

Whilst not an ideal solution, some people do silly things like
putting a P150 and a P166 clocked to 150 into SMP boxes.
It could be possible for 1 CPU to have the bug whilst another doesn't.

It's questionable we should support such nightmare scenarios, but
as this is __initcode anyway, it's not that big a deal.
