OK.

I think to keep everybody aligned/on-the-same-page no pun intended.

We want

+    /*
+     * Locate the page directory and flush the TLB.
+     *
+     * On Quark X1000 CPUs we still have the PGE bit incorrectly set
+     * due to a processor erratum, so __flush_tlb_all() is not yet

+     *
+     * early_init_intel will unset the X86_FEATURE_PGE flag later

+     */
+    __flush_tlb();

With the extra __flush_tlb(); on the end.
