Configuring a guest with < CONFIG_M586TSC reveals an lguest bug: the
TSC code expects to see the TSC capability bit, but we weren't setting
up the capabilities until much later in check_bugs ->
identify_boot_cpu -> identify_boot_cpu.
Do the same thing as Xen and the head.S native code: populate the
first capability word before start_kernel().
