Oops, I thought I'd removed those two lines about AMD in the comment
when I removed the actual code that did so. Turns out we remove those
lines again in the *next* patch instead.
Ah, sorry about that, should have caught it while reviewing before
posting. To think of it, it might be better to squash this and next AMD
disabling patch, if anyone testing on AMD ever happens to check out at
this specific patch, their machine might not boot :). Will repost only
after getting the OK for the rest of the patches along with addressing
any other comments that come up.
Thanks,
Usama
