As I replied to Greg, I think we can drop this field entirely. But, of
course, please check that the kernel doesn't get tainted if booting on a
non-32-bit capable CPU.

Same here, we can probably drop the boot_cpu_data update here.

With the sanitised registers using the lowest value of this field, I
think we no longer need this explicit masking.
