*GROAN*

I would prefer if we could move the CPU detection code before the MTRR 
code; I don't think there is an inherent reason why we shouldn't be able 
to.  It would be much preferrable to scattering all kinds of CPU 
detection information all over the system.

I am going to be away today so I can't look at this myself until 
tomorrow at the earliest (tomorrow is a holiday here, though, so I can't 
promise I'll be around then either.)
