Catalin,

Just a heads up. I have a patch [1] which moves the "check_local_cpu_errata()"
around to smp_prepare_boot_cpu(). This patch should still work fine with that
case. Only that may be we could move the jump_lable_init() to smp_prepare_boot_cpu(),
before we call "update_cpu_errata_work_arounds()" for Boot CPU.

Either way, this will be useful for some of the other feature checks.

Thanks
Suzuki
