SMN?

This isn't my code, and I'm not really objecting to these changes, but
from where I sit, the fact that you need this sort of vendor-specific
topology discovery is a little bit ugly and seems like something of a
maintenance issue. You could argue that this is sort of an "AMD CPU
driver", which is entitled to be device-specific, and that does make
some sense.

But device-specific code is typically packaged as a driver that uses
driver registration interfaces like acpi_bus_register_driver(),
pci_register_driver(), etc. That gives you a consistent structure
and, more importantly, a framework for dealing with hotplug. It
doesn't look like amd_nb.c would deal well with hot-add of CPUs.
