And no, in fact, my brain is buggy... On ppc32 we identify first, then
fixup, then only do the call_setup_cpu ! That's why the Idle NAP code
actually goes test the feature bit.

I think ppc64 does it the other way around. ppc64 certainly _requires_
taht the fixup has not yet been applied while running early_setup() as
it may change some CPU features according to firmware properties.

So in the merged kernel, we need to be extra careful here. I think we
should go the ppc64 way actually and apply the fixups later. But that
means fixing the code in cpu_setup_6xx.S indeed.
