I meant only "local static variable being used for printing to suppress recursion"
idea rather then boot_cpu_id() inliner at moment [btw there was some thread
someday about printk_once (or something like that) though I'm not sure if patches
were merged] :) As only the inliner will be ready we will just switch to use it
eliminating this static variable. That is how I imagine it.
