2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge commit 82d6469916c6fcfa345636a49004c9d1753905d1 upstream. A Xen guest never needs to know about extended topology, and knowing would just confuse it. This patch just zeros ebx in leaf 0xb which indicates no topology info, preventing a crash under Xen on cpus which support this leaf.
