Subject: [PATCH 4.3 001/157] x86 smpboot: Re-enable init_udelay=0 by default on modern CPUs

4.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com>

commit 656279a1f3b210cf48ccc572fd7c6b8e2250be77 upstream.

commit f1ccd249319e allowed the cmdline "cpu_init_udelay=" to work
with all values, including the default of 10000.

But in setting the default of 10000, it over-rode the code that sets
the delay 0 on modern processors.

Also, tidy up use of INT/UINT.

Fixes: f1ccd249319e "x86/smpboot: Fix cpu_init_udelay=10000 corner case boot parameter misbehavior"
