One of the many possible problems with our incrementing of this field
could be that this results in a value that in "reserved" as per AMD's
documentation. At least for some of the Fam17 models they document
exactly which values are "legal".
This may then (further) get in the way of OSes trying to fully split
APIC IDs into the parts correlating with the topological sub-units
(thread, core, core complex, die, socket).
