[David Harmon]

- x86: Misc patches for latest AMD CPU families

   x86, amd: Re-enable CPU topology extensions in case BIOS has disabled it
   commit f7f286a910221ae18b21c18d9d0f4cd88965829f in tip/master (not yet in Linus' Linux tree)

   Also a fix to correct L1i/L2 cache properties in /sysfs should be integrated

   x86/amd: Fix L1i and L2 cache sharing information for AMD family 15h processors
   Upstream commit 32c3233885eb10ac9cb9410f2f8cd64b8df2b2a1

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel for oneiric in -proposed solves the problem (3.0.0-23.38). Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-oneiric' to 'verification-done-oneiric'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Tested on AMD Bulldozer.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel for Precise in -proposed solves the problem (3.2.0-27.43). Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-precise' to 'verification-done-precise'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
