  (x86: move X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC into early cpu feature detection)

are supposed to fix the detection of contant TSC for AMD CPUs.
Unfortunately on x86_64 it does still not work with current x86/mm.
For a Phenom I still get:

  ...
  TSC calibrated against PM_TIMER
  Marking TSC unstable due to TSCs unsynchronized
  time.c: Detected 2288.366 MHz processor.
  ...

We have to set c->x86_power in early_identify_cpu to properly detect
the CONSTANT_TSC bit in early_init_amd.

Attached patch fixes this issue. Following the relevant boot
messages when the fix is used:

  ...
  TSC calibrated against PM_TIMER
  time.c: Detected 2288.279 MHz processor.
  ...
  Initializing CPU#1
  ...
  checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
  ...
  Initializing CPU#2
  ...
  checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#2]: passed.
  ...
  Booting processor 3/4 APIC 0x3
  ...
  checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#3]: passed.
  Brought up 4 CPUs
  ...

Patch is against x86/mm (v2.6.24-rc8-672-ga9f7faa).
Please apply.

Set c->x86_power in early_identify_cpu. This ensures that
X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC can properly be set in early_init_amd.
