These three lines, including the label, should also be removed as they
are not for LEON. Additionally, I think it would be best to split out
removing the cpuid instruction fixups to one patch and the MMU ASI
instruction fixups to another patch.

The hard_smp_processor_id function also needs to be reduced to just the
LEON code. With the patching removed, SMP otherwise breaks with CPUs
other than CPU 0 getting stuck.
