Currently alternatives are applied very late in the boot process (and
a long time after we enable scheduling). Some alternative sequences,
such as those that alter the way CPU context is stored, must be applied
much earlier in the boot sequence.

Introduce apply_boot_alternatives() to allow some alternatives to be
applied immediately after we detect the CPU features of the boot CPU.

Julien

I think this check is problematic. The scope_mask passed on by the boot CPU
is (SCOPE_BOOT_CPU | SCOPE_LOCAL_CPU) to cover both BOOT CPU capabilities *and*
CPU local capabilites on the boot CPU. So, you might apply the alternatives for
a "local" CPU erratum, which is not intended. You may change the above check to :

	if (caps->type & SCOPE_BOOT_CPU)

to make sure you check the "capability" has the SCOPE_BOOT_CPU set.

Makes sense, I'll do that.
