Yes, you're right the patch is not good. It should probably use
information from the regular CPU setup code, not touch cpuid
directly

need move some code into early_identify_cpu from identify_cpu in
arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c
then could use that bits in bsp cpu info.

BTW:
it seems for BSP only early_identify_cpu is called, and identify_cpu
is only use in smp_callin for AP. Do i miss sth.
