Can you put this into:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c (or wherever it fits in general x86 cpu init code)
and remove this (arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c):
        if (c->cpuid_level > 6) {
                unsigned ecx = cpuid_ecx(6);
                if (ecx & 0x01)
                        set_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_APERFMPERF);
        }

an x86 maintainer might want to double check, but I expect this should work
for all x86 machines?
