Are you thinking about some sick virt scenario where base CPUID level is < 1?

In this particular case, there's a guard at the beginning of
cacheinfo_amd_init_llc_id():

        if (!cpuid_edx(0x80000006))
                return;

but if there's CPUs which have CPUID 0x80000006 but base CPUID level is
< 1, then that's their problem.
