[PATCH v2 3/5] x86/cpu: Inline generic_identify() into identify_cpu()
From: Ihor Solodrai
Date: Fri Aug 14 2026 - 19:57:25 EST
generic_identify() has exactly one call site: at the top of
identify_cpu(). Fold it into identify_cpu() so that a single function
does the job for both the boot CPU and the secondary CPUs.
While at it, fix up both copies of the Cyrix comment.
No functional changes.
