Let's drop automatic topoext by now, and see if we find solutions
later.  I don't want to hold the rest of the patches because of
this.

I'm thinking we could simply make kvm_arch_get_supported_cpuid()
always return TOPOEXT on AMD CPUs, because the feature flag don't
really depend on any KVM code to work (is that correct?).
