Only based on the current code, what you said is reasonable to me.

But in the normal initializing sequence, firstly for architecture
dependence features, then for common cpu features, at last for other
devices (at least, other devices need be the last).

So for me, we need still remain current initializing sequence for
extensible in the future.


Thanks.
