[PATCH 1/2] x86 smpboot: fix cpu_init_udelay=10000

From: Len Brown
Date: Fri Oct 16 2015 - 00:15:47 EST


From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>

For legacy machines cpu_init_udelay defaults to 10,000.
For modern machines it is set to 0.

The user should be able to set cpu_init_udelay to
any value on the cmdline, including 10,000.
Before this patch, that was seen as "unchanged from default"
and thus on a modern machine, the user request was ignored
and the delay was set to 0.
