Sure, I'll move it to the top of the file

Clean Summary:

Recently a kdump bug was discovered in which a system would hang inside
calibrate_delay during the booting of the kdump kernel. This was caused by the
fact that the jiffies counter was not being incremented during timer
calibration. The root cause of this problem was found to be a bios
misconfiguration of the hypertransport bus. On system affected by this hang,
the bios had assigned APIC ids which used extended apic bits (more than the
nominal 4 bit ids's), but failed to configure bit 18 of the hypertransport
transaction config register, which indicated that the mask for the destination
field of interrupt packets accross the ht bus (see section 3.3.9 of
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26094.PDF).
If a crash occurs on a cpu with an APIC id that extends beyond 4 bits, it will
not recieve interrupts during the kdump kernel boot, and this hang will be the
result. The fix is to add this patch, whcih add an early pci quirk check, to
forcibly enable this bit in the httcfg register. This enables all cpus on a
system to receive interrupts, and allows kdump kernel bootup to procede
normally.
