If you can get it from the hardware, why do you need to initialise it
in the earlier patch?

I guess you have a bootstrap problem, you need it to get it. But
cannot you just initialise it to a single pessimistic value which will
work well enough for all hardware variants until you can actually ask
the hardware?
