Cool, with a small modification to fix a build error with it the
resulting kernel boots my machine. Thanks.
Would be cool to have this patch one merged soon :-)
Attached is your patch with my little build fix. It redefines a values
already defines in cpufeatures.h but I can't include that file in the
boot code so I simply redeclared it. Maybe there is a cleaner solution
for this.
