The L3 cache index disable feature of AMD CPUs has to be disabled if the
kernel is running as guest on top of a hypervisor because northbridge
devices are not available to the guest. Currently, this fixes a boot
crash on top of Xen. In the future this will become an issue on KVM as
well.

Check if northbridge devices are present and do not enable the feature
if there are none.

      x86, k8: Fix build error when K8_NB is disabled · ade029e2
      Borislav Petkov authored 
      K8_NB depends on PCI and when the last is disabled (allnoconfig) we fail
at the final linking stage due to missing exported num_k8_northbridges.
Add a header stub for that.

      x86: Fix fake apicid to node mapping for numa emulation · b0c4d952
      David Rientjes authored 
      With NUMA emulation, it's possible for a single cpu to be bound
to multiple nodes since more than one may have affinity if
allocated on a physical node that is local to the cpu.

APIC ids must therefore be mapped to the lowest node ids to
maintain generic kernel use of functions such as cpu_to_node()
that determine device affinity.  For example, if a device has
proximity to physical node 1, for instance, and a cpu happens to
be mapped to a higher emulated node id 8, the proximity may not
be correctly determined by comparison in generic code even
though the cpu may be truly local and allocated on physical node 1.

When this happens, the true topology of the machine isn't
accurately represented in the emulated environment; although
this isn't critical to the system's uptime, any generic code
that is NUMA aware benefits from the physical topology being
accurately represented.

This can affect any system that maps multiple APIC ids to a
single node and is booted with numa=fake=N where N is greater
than the number of physical nodes.
