it's not unused:

          if (!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SEP) ||
              HYPERVISOR_callback_op(CALLBACKOP_register, &sysenter) != 0) {
                 clear_cpu_cap(&cpu_data(cpu), X86_FEATURE_SEP);
                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                 clear_cpu_cap(&boot_cpu_data, X86_FEATURE_SEP);
          }

if it generates an unused variable warning on UP then per_cpu() needs to 
be fixed to do a (void)(cpu) to indicate use of that variable.
