Applied but did some heavy massaging:

Subject: [PATCH] x86/amd: Limit cpu_core_id fixup to families older than F17h

Current cpu_core_id fixup causes downcored F17h configurations to be
incorrect:

  NODE: 0
  processor  0 core id : 0
  processor  1 core id : 1
  processor  2 core id : 2
  processor  3 core id : 4
  processor  4 core id : 5
  processor  5 core id : 0

  NODE: 1
  processor  6 core id : 2
  processor  7 core id : 3
  processor  8 core id : 4
  processor  9 core id : 0
  processor 10 core id : 1
  processor 11 core id : 2

Code that relies on the cpu_core_id, like match_smt(), for example,
which builds the thread siblings masks used by the scheduler, is
mislead.

So, limit the fixup to pre-F17h machines. The new value for cpu_core_id
for F17h and later will represent the CPUID_Fn8000001E_EBX[CoreId],
which is guaranteed to be unique for each core within a socket.

This way we have:

  NODE: 0
  processor  0 core id : 0
  processor  1 core id : 1
  processor  2 core id : 2
  processor  3 core id : 4
  processor  4 core id : 5
  processor  5 core id : 6

  NODE: 1
  processor  6 core id : 8
  processor  7 core id : 9
  processor  8 core id : 10
  processor  9 core id : 12
  processor 10 core id : 13
  processor 11 core id : 14
