It's only called from amd.c:srat_detect_node(). The introduced
condition for calling the fixup code is true for all AMD multi-node
processors, e.g. Magny-Cours and Interlagos. There we have 2 NUMA
nodes on one socket. And thus there are cores having different
numa-node-id but with equal phys_proc_id. For example on such a system
we now get

[    0.228109] Booting Node   0, Processors  #1

[    0.340113]  Ok.

These NUMA core numbering error messages are plain wrong.

The confusing/misleading error message was introduced with commit
64be4c1c2428e148de6081af235e2418e6a66dda (x86: Add x86_init platform
override to fix up NUMA core numbering) and should be removed.

BTW, I wonder why the fixup code isn't called from the Intel path.  At
least the mentioned patch suggests that something more generic was
introduced here.

And I am curious why there is this specific condition to decide
whether a call to x86_cpuinit.fixup_cpu_id is required.

Andreas
