I agree with the fact that all users of identify_cpu are currently using spaces
which are 0 but to make the core a bit more robust we could do a memset(0)
of the structure at the beginning of the function.

I would put some () around the test.

If we test for aarch32, the ifndef here should not be needed anymore.

Is your previous patch really still needed if we go with the aarch32 path ?
