Hm. Kim, is there some weirdness with the way AMD CPUs get their APIC ID in CPUID 0x1? Especially after resume?

Perhaps we turn it off for any AMD CPU that doesn't have X2APIC and CPUID 0xB?

I think I can put a header there as the motherboard does have pins, but I'd have to buy one first. In theory, I can do that, but that won't happen within the next few weeks.
