With this, plus the statement in setup_cpu_cache, it is possible that we
set the state to PARTIAL from two different locations. Although it
wouldn't be the first instance of it, I can't say I am a big fan.

Is there any reason why you need to initialize the state to PARTIAL from
two different locations?

I would just just get rid of the second and keep this one, which is
called early enough and unconditionally.
