    Bad things happen.  It doesn't yet check that the cpu id is correct.
    I will do that, as soon as I figure out the range of cpu IDs involved.

    If you don't have a system with an AMD X2 based multi-core cpu, this
    fix won't help you.

    On SMP systems generally speaking a uni-processor kernel build will
    work while an SMP kernel build will not.
