Currently, MCA initialization is executed identically on each CPU as
they are brought online. However, a number of MCA initialization tasks
only need to be done once.

Define a function to collect all 'global' init tasks and call this from
the BSP only. Start with CPU features.

nit: One question though for those CPUs which consist of P+E cores, is it mandated that both types of cores will have identical MCE architecture, I assume the x86 world will be a lot more unified than Arm's big.LITTLE ?
