Why are you having mrst_cpu_chip as a caching variable if you expose
the identify function ? Either you evaluate boot_cpu_data everytime or
you do it once and expose a function which lets you access the cached
data. IIRC Alan mentioned that drivers need this info, so the access
function will need an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to work.
