RE: 2.6.12-rc5 is broken in nvidia Ck804 Opteron MB/with dual cor e dual way

[YhLu <YhLu@tyan.com>]

in  detect_ht
        if (!cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_HT) || cpu_has(c,
X86_FEATURE_CMP_LEGACY))
                return;

cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_CMP_LEGACY) for AMD is 1, so smp_num_siblings is not
changed and it is still initial value. (1)....
