I think this is correct. Prior to "arm: delete __cpuinit/__CPUINIT usage
from all ARM users", lookup_processor_type() was in the cpuinit section.
After that commit, it moved to the init section and hence got dumped
soon after boot. The change above moves lookup_processor_type() back
into the regular text section, which I believe was the intent of the
__cpuinit removal patch.
