Subject: [PATCH 4.9 01/66] x86/asm/32: Make sync_core() handle missing CPUID on all 32-bit kernels

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

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

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

commit 1c52d859cb2d417e7216d3e56bb7fea88444cec9 upstream.

We support various non-Intel CPUs that don't have the CPUID
instruction, so the M486 test was wrong.  For now, fix it with a big
hammer: handle missing CPUID on all 32-bit CPUs.
