Hi Eduardo,
Planning  to make couple of changes after testing and review.  Let me know if I missed something.
Will wait for your feedback before the next revision.

We don't need this.  We are already setting this false in x86_cpu_properties.
But we need to set it "on" for EPYC on PC_COMPAT_3_0 whenever we define it. 
That will be a separate patch. Correct?

This could be more appropriate like this.

 cpu->auto_topoext =  cpu->auto_topoext && def->auto_topoext;
