There's no need to invoke CPUID yet another time. However, as the host CPU
policy is set up only shortly after init_intel() ran on the BSP, defer the
logic to a pre-SMP initcall. This can't be (a new) one in cpu/intel.c
though, as that's linked after acpi/cpu_idle.c (which is where we already
need the feature set). Since opt_arat is local to the cpu/ subtree,
introduce a new Intel-specific helper to hold the code needed.

Further, as we assume symmetry anyway, use setup_force_cpu_cap() and hence
limit the checking to the boot CPU.
