Subject: EDAC, amd64: Add x86cpuid sanity check during init
From: Yazen Ghannam <Yazen.Ghannam@amd.com>
[ Upstream commit 1bd9900b8301fc505f032c90ea487824cf824e99 ]
Match one of the devices in amd64_cpuids[] before loading the module.
This is an additional sanity check against users trying to load
amd64_edac_mod on unsupported systems.
