Subject: [BUG] broken ebba638ae723d8a8fc2f7abce5ec18b688b791d7

Hi,

ebba638ae723d8a8fc2f7abce5ec18b688b791d7 x86, cpu: Call verify_cpu during 32bit CPU startup look buggy.

It add a call to verify_cpu, but we never set the stack before (I check with qemu + gdbserver that sp is random
when doing cpu hotplug).
This mean do randomly corrupt the memory.
