there was recent change that check on cpuid and quits:
  608127f73779 perf top: Initialize perf_env->cpuid, needed by the per arch annotation init routine

Arnaldo,
maybe this should be just a warning/info, because it seems to be related
to annotations only..?

get_cpuid is defined only for s390/x86/powerpc, so I guess it won't work
on the rest as well
