[PATCH v2 1/6] x86/asm/32: Make sync_core() handle missing CPUID on all 32-bit kernels

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Thu Dec 01 2016 - 19:35:23 EST


We support various non-Intel CPUs that don't have the CPUID
instruction, so the M486 test was wrong. For now, fix it with a big
hammer: handle missing CPUID on all 32-bit CPUs.
