In arch/i386/cpu/common.c there is:
cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_INTEL]
cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_CYRIX]
cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_AMD]
...
They are all filled with data early.
The data (struct) got set to NULL for all, but Intel in different
late_initcall (exit_cpu_vendor) calls.
I don't see what sense this makes at all, maybe something that got
forgotten with the HOTPLUG_CPU extenstions?
Please check/review whether initdata, cpuinitdata is still ok and this
still works with HOTPLUG_CPU and without, it should...

Mark i386-specific cpu init functions as __cpuinit. They are all
only called from arch/i386/common.c:identify_cpu() that already is marked as
__cpuinit. This patch also removes the empty function init_umc().

The different cpu_dev structures are all used from __cpuinit callers what
I can tell. So mark them as __cpuinitdata instead of __initdata. I am a
little bit unsure about arch/i386/common.c:default_cpu, especially when it
comes to the purpose of this_cpu.

i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started
processor after CPU hotplug. The cpu_devs array is searched to find the
vendor and it contains pointers to freed data.
Fix that by:
1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup.
2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data].
3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu
to a safe default when the vendor is not found.
This does not change behavior for AMD systems. They were broken already
but no error was reported.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
