Right, I realized this too this morning, while sleeping, so I made me
a note on the nightstand to fix it... :-)

Same path:

identify_secondary_cpu->identify_cpu->this_cpu->c_init(c)->init_amd

Plus, it keeps the vendor code where it belongs.

v2 below, still untested.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/CPU/AMD: Make sure EFER[AIBRSE] is set

The AutoIBRS bit gets set only on the BSP as part of determining which
mitigation to enable on AMD. Setting on the APs relies on the
circumstance that the APs get booted through the trampoline and EFER
- the MSR which contains that bit - gets replicated on every AP from the
BSP.

However, this can change in the future and considering the security
implications of this bit not being set on every CPU, make sure it is set
by verifying EFER later in the boot process and on every AP.
