applied to tip/x86/cleanups, thanks Vegard.

very nice! I think the reference should be something like the unified 
include/asm-x86/processor.h.

could you try a run with that and put the result into a git tree for me 
to pull for review? I think we want to finetune that result and do a 
flag day for those cleanups, right after all the x86 topics went into 
v2.6.27.
