Gah, all of the gunk that get_cpu_address_sizes() touches are out of
control.

They (phys/virt_bits and clflush) need to get consolidated back to a
single copy that gets set up *once* in early boot and then read by
everyone else.  I've got a series to do that, but it's got its tentacles
in quite a few places.  They're not great backporting material.

Your patches make things a wee bit worse in the meantime, but they pale
in comparison to the random spaghetti that we've already got.  Also, we
probably need the early TME stuff regardless.

I think I'll probably suck it up, apply them, then fix them up along
with the greater mess.

Anybody have any better ideas?
