No, this is not. It is just moving the code to cpufeature.c
Earlier it was :
smp_prepare_boot_cpu() -> cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu() -> init_cpu_features()
and then we did update_cpu_errata_workarounds() after we have done cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu(). With this change we do :
smp_prepare_boot_cpu() -> cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu() -> init_cpu_features() -> update_cpu_errata_workarounds()

Sure, will make it clearer.
