That part is fine. What really annoyed me is the patch:

Subject: [PATCH] x86: Call identify_cpu() unconditionally once remove other
callsites

which is a complete fail in all aspects. You should be able to figure
that out yourself easily:

Read the reviews of "[PATCH 1/3] x86: Bugfix bit-rot in the calling of
legacy_cache_size" again carefully. Then look at your patch, the
subject line and the changelog. It should be pretty obvious.

Thanks,

OK - I'll read again.

Thanks for the reviews
