From: Sudeep Holla sudeep.holla@arm.com

commit fac51482577d5e05bbb0efa8d602a3c2111098bf upstream.

With CONFIG_OF enabled on x86, we get the following error on boot: " Failed to find cpu0 device node Unable to detect cache hierarchy from DT for CPU 0 " and the cacheinfo fails to get populated in the corresponding sysfs entries. This is because cache_setup_of_node looks for of_node for setting up the shared cpu_map without checking that it's already populated in the architecture specific callback.

In order to indicate that the shared cpu_map is already populated, this patch introduces a boolean `cpu_map_populated` in struct cpu_cacheinfo that can be used by the generic code to skip cache_shared_cpu_map_setup.

This patch also sets that boolean for x86.
