Thanks for trying. Now let's take a small step back.

Please reset the tree to:

      ace278e7eca6 ("x86/smpboot: Teach it about topo.amd_node_id")

That's the commit right before switching over and according to your
bisect it works. Now apply the patch below, which just runs the new
topology scan function but discards the result.

Thanks,
