Subject: [PATCH] 2.6.0-test9-mm2: cpu_sibling_map fix

On summit-based machines the cpu_sibling_map data has been hosed for some
time. I found out why in Intel's IA-32 Software Deveveopers' Manual Vol 2
under CPUID. Looks like the value that cpuid returns is the one latched at
reset, and doesn't reflect any changes made by the BIOS later:

* Local APIC ID (high byte of EBX)--this number is the 8-bit ID that is
assigned to the local APIC on the processor during power up. This field
was introduced in the Pentium 4 processor.

Also, the code in init_intel was a bit overdesigned. Until Intel releases a
chip with a non-power-of-2 sibling count on it, there's no point in all that
bit bashing.
