Indeed the whole setup.c is a bit confusing, a cpusetup.c file or somesuch
would make things a bit simpler with maybe an exported function to setup.c
in the nature of cpu_detect(...). In your 2.5 todo, are you going
to move the errata/bugs to the same cpusetup file or a seperate one? Cause
now that i look at it, we got errata (e.g. AMD T13) in setup.c f00f etc,
then popad and friends in bugs.h.
