This patch fixes the problem introduced by:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.23-rc8/2.6.23-rc8-mm2/b...

The problem is that every processor line in /proc/cpuinfo displays zero
on x86_64.

$ grep processor /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
processor       : 0

Because early_identify_cpu() overwrites c->cpu_index for every cpuinfo.
This patch removes that unnecessary initialization for c->cpu_index.
