Subject: [PATCH V2] x86, quirks: Add workaround for AMD F16h Erratum792

The workaround for this Erratum is included in AGESA. But BIOSes spun
only after Jan2014 will have the fix (atleast server versions of the
chip). The erratum affects both embedded and server platforms and since
we cannot say with certainity that ALL BIOSes on systems out in the
field will have the fix, we should probably insulate ourselves in case
BIOS does not do the right thing or someone is using old BIOSes.

Refer Revision Guide for AMD F16h models 00h-0fh, document 51810
Rev. 3.04, November2013 for details on the Erratum.

Tested the patch on Fam16h server platform and works fine.

Changes from V1:
	- modify commit msg to say it affects embedded and server
	  systems..
	- per Ingo's suggestion: reword comment, function name
	- rebase off latest tip/master
