AMD has not publicly commented on this issue that I'm aware of. This issue has been seen on many different operating systems. DragonFlyBSD includes a workaround for this issue. The workaround on Linux is to compile the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, and disable ASLR using "echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space". This can be put into rc.local. It's also possible to hardcode ASLR as disabled into the kernel, but this requires modifying the kernel source, not just the config file. There is a new AGESA update released about a week ago, 1.0.0.6a, although I have not tested whether the new AGESA alone (without any kernel changes) solves the issue.
