So we already have this magic number used for a similar purpose, in 
amd_get_topology():

                cpuid(0x8000001e, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);

                node_id  = ecx & 0xff;

Firstly, could we please at least give 0x8000001e a proper symbolic 
name, use it in hygon.c too (which AFAIK is derived from AMD anyway), 
and then use it in these new patches?

Secondly, why not stick node_id into struct cpuinfo_x86, where the MCA 
code can then use it without having to introduce a new percpu data 
structure?

There's also the underlying assumption that there's only ever going to 
be 256 nodes, which limitation I'm sure we'll hear about in a couple 
of years as not being quite enough. ;-)

So less hardcoding and more generalizations please.

Thanks,
