init_per_cpu - Handle individual processor initializations.  

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

int __init init_per_cpu (int cpunum);  

ARGUMENTS

cpunum
logical processor number.
 

DESCRIPTION

This function handles initialization for *every* CPU  

IN THE SYSTEM

o Set ``default'' CPU width for trap handlers

o Enable FP coprocessor  

REVISIT

this could be done in the ``code 22'' trap handler. (frowands idea - that way we know which processes need FP registers saved on the interrupt stack.)  

NEWS FLASH

wide kernels need FP coprocessor enabled to handle formatted printing of lx for example (double divides I think)

o Enable CPU profiling hooks.
