early_identify_cpu() clears the capability array, the CPUID table and extended_cpuid_level, but the architectural defaults for the rest of struct cpuinfo_x86 are set only later, in identify_cpu(). On x86_64 x86_clflush_size defaults to 64. Until that default is applied it reads as zero, which get_cpu_address_sizes() interprets as "not enumerated" and replaces with 32. So on a CPU which does not enumerate CLFLUSH the boot CPU runs with an x86_clflush_size and an x86_cache_alignment of 32 until identify_cpu() resets them to 64. Use the same defaults from the start, so that the boot CPU does not depend on a later reset to end up with the right ones. The values the boot CPU ends up with do not change. Early users of cache_line_size() on a CPU which does not enumerate CLFLUSH now see the architectural 64 instead of the 32 fallback, which is what they should have been seeing all along. This change comes before the last patch because that one removes the reset: without the defaults established here the boot CPU would be left at 32 instead of 64 on an x86_64 CPU which does not enumerate CLFLUSH.
