There are no users for the function amd_init_cpu() defined in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c. This patch removes this routine.

This patch was build-tested using defconfigs for i386 and x86_64,
and a few randconfig instances. Runtime tests were performed by
booting 32- and 64-bit x86 boxen up to the shell prompt.

<title>x86: use ELF section to list CPU vendor specific code</title>

<id>03ae5768b6110ebaa97dc3e7abf1c3d8bec5f874</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace the hardcoded list of initialization functions for each CPU
vendor by a list in an ELF section, which is read at initialization in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu.c to fill the cpu_devs[] array. The ELF
section, named .x86cpuvendor.init, is reclaimed after boot, and
contains entries of type "struct cpu_vendor_dev" which associates a
vendor number with a pointer to a "struct cpu_dev" structure.

This first modification allows to remove all the VENDOR_init_cpu()
functions.

This patch also removes the hardcoded calls to early_init_amd() and
early_init_intel(). Instead, we add a "c_early_init" member to the
cpu_dev structure, which is then called if not NULL by the generic CPU
initialization code. Unfortunately, in early_cpu_detect(), this_cpu is
not yet set, so we have to use the cpu_devs[] array directly.

This patch is part of the Linux Tiny project, and is needed for
further patch that will allow to disable compilation of unused CPU
support code.

<title>x86: use the correct cpuid method to detect MWAIT support for C states</title>

<id>0c07ee38c9d4eb081758f5ad14bbffa7197e1aec</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously there was a AMD specific quirk to handle the case of
AMD Fam10h MWAIT not supporting any C states. But it turns out
that CPUID already has ways to detectly detect that without
using special quirks.

The new code simply checks if MWAIT supports at least C1 and doesn't
use it if it doesn't. No more vendor specific code.

Note this is does not simply clear MWAIT because MWAIT can be still
useful even without C states.

Credit goes to Ben Serebrin for pointing out the (nearly) obvious.

Need this in the next patch in time_init and that happens early.

This includes a minor fix on i386 where early_intel_workarounds()
[which is now called early_init_intel] really executes early as
the comments say.
