There should be some improvements for the initialization code. At least,
we can reduce the is_hybrid() check and move the 0x23 enumeration in one
place.

Anyway, I will think more and see if there is more that can be improved.
Then, put it as part of the arch pebs code. We may have further
discussions with the V2 arch PEBS code.
