applied to tip/x86/cpu, thanks Yinghai.

ah, nice one!

we broke that via v2.6.25-37-g03ae576 "x86: use ELF section to list CPU 
vendor specific code" - should we backport your fix to mainline right 
now? I'm wondering why it only triggered now - did alignment change in 
this section due to your changes and thus this dormant bug became 
triggerable?
