Yeah, a get_hardware_info() function which does an allocation of that
struct amd64_umc on => F17 which is only 20 bytes. Just add it into the
pvt struct:

struct amd64_pvt {
	...
	struct amd64_umc umc;  /* UMC registers */
};

and be done with it. This should simplify the code flow here a bit and
20 bytes more per pvt is not a big deal.

And I know we do test "if (pvt->umc)" in a bunch of places but that can
be replaced with a "if (pvt->fam >= 0x17)" test which is equivalent.

And that conversion should be a single patch.

Yeah, that fam_type can be made global. No need to hand it around in
functions since it is going to be a single struct per system. Do that in
another, separate patch please.

After you've done those things, this patch would become a lot simpler.

Thx.
