Argh,

In the attached .config we have

# CONFIG_CPU_SUP_AMD is not set

but <arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c> is built only when CONFIG_CPU_SUP_AMD is
enabled. Possible fixes are:

a) push amd_get_nb_id() into <asm/processor.h>.

b) make L3 cache index disable code dependent on CONFIG_CPU_SUP_AMD

IMO, a) is a short-term fix while b) is the better thing to do. I might
be able to get something done in time for the merge window. Let me know
which way you want to go.

Thanks.
