Another crude way of doing this would be, take the action in the matches() of a boot capability, when scope contains SCOPE_BOOT_CPU (to make sure that we don't do this always for other "matches()" call backs via "this_cpu_has_cap()") and get rid of this "enable()". But that looks more hackish. Suzuki
