How do you propose to do this without turning setup.c and friends into a #ifdef nightmare ? setup_intel.c, setup_amd.c etc ??
It is possible to contain the mess in header files. Other architectures have done this...
You can either macro inline the cpu tests and/or use function pointers. The munging in the header files nops it out into whatever CONFIG_CPUTYPE was chosen if you didn't ask for the generic build.
