Add a main cache_cpu_init() init routine which initializes MTRR and/or PAT support depending on what has been detected on the system. Leave the MTRR-specific initialization in a MTRR-specific init function where the smp_changes_mask setting happens now with caches disabled. This global mask update was done with caches enabled before probably because atomic operations while running uncached might have been quite expensive. But since only systems with a broken BIOS should ever require to set any bit in smp_changes_mask, hurting those devices with a penalty of a few microseconds during boot shouldn't be a real issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
