Subject: [PATCH for-next] x86/setup: Move reading of cached state earlier
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:00:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1511953250-4940-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

These are reads of registers which have already been set up, so are safe to do
at any point.  However, TLB flushes (e.g. from bootstrap_map()) don't function
until get_cpu_info()->cr4 is populated.
