[PATCH] x86: Quark: Add if/else to setup_arch for Quark TLB bug

From: Bryan O'Donoghue
Date: Fri Sep 26 2014 - 13:22:38 EST


Quark X1000 incorrectly advertises PGE. In later the stages of boot
specifically in early_init_intel we setup_clear_cpu_cap for PGE.
At this point in time cpu_has_pge() will still be true.

Use the boot_cpu_data to decide if __flush_tlb_all() or __flush_tlb()
should be called subsequent to loading CR3
