I have picked up the other 3 patches, but this one causes this build failure:

arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c: In function ‘amd_get_subcaches’:
arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c:129:36: error: ‘struct cpuinfo_x86’ has no member named ‘compute_unit_id’
arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c: In function ‘amd_set_subcaches’:
arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c:154:28: error: ‘struct cpuinfo_x86’ has no member named ‘compute_unit_id’
arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c:155:36: error: ‘struct cpuinfo_x86’ has no member named ‘compute_unit_id’
arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c: In function ‘amd_get_subcaches’:
arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c:130:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

Thanks,

Ingo
