Re: 256 apic id for amd64

[James Cleverdon <jamesclv@us.ibm.com>]

Clustered APIC systems need the phys_proc_id to come from the APIC ID 
register.  Intel prefers that non-clustered systems get their 
phys_proc_id from the cpuid opcode.

So, using c->x86_apicid is unlikely to satisfy both parties.
