The XD_DISABLE-clearing side-effect needs to happen for both 32bit and 64bit, but the 32bit init routines were not calling verify_cpu() yet. This adds that call to gain the side-effect.
The longmode/SSE tests being performed in verify_cpu() need to happen very early for 64bit but not for 32bit. Instead of including it in two places for 32bit, we can just include it once in arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S.
