On a second thought, the !SMP block in processor.h::cpuinfo_x86 
is pretty self-contained and making it unconditional would 
increase UP kernel size by 4x5==20 bytes.

I have not checked how many further simplifications this allows 
- if it's a really nice cleanup then i guess we could do it and 
keep the all-zeroes-and-ones default value on UP.

The fields *do* make sense on UP as well.

So it's a "try and see how it ends up" thing.

Thanks,
