  x86, MCE, AMD: Use MCG_CAP MSR to find out number of banks on AMD (2013-03-22 11:25:01 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Basically, the main reason for this is virtualization but it is also
correct, at the same time, to read out the number of supported banks
from hardware instead of having hardcoded defines. Which means it is a
nice cleanup for baremetal too.
