Subject: [PATCH] x86: set percpu cpu0 lpj to default


We need to use udelay() in early stage.

For x86, normally udelay need to use percpu.loops_per_jiffy
will need to wait per_cpu(cpu_info) is allocated and copied
from boot_cpu_data, after it is in smp_prepare_cpus()
boot_cpu_data.loops_per_jiffy get set in identify_boot_cpu from check_bugs.

But cpu_data(0) can be referred early, that is in per cpu load data.

Try to set it with default vaule instead leave it as zero.

BTW: it it is some small...only 4096

Now: only user for udelay is ehci dgp early console.
