please check the fix for v2.

this one can be applied to x86.git#testing

[PATCH] x86_64: apic_is_clustered_box fix for vsmp

quad core 8 socket system will have apic id lifting.the apic id range could
be [4, 0x23]. and apic_is_clustered_box will think that need to three clusters
and that is large than 2. So it is treated as clustered_box.

and will get

Marking TSC unstable due to TSCs unsynchronized

even the CPUs have X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC set.

v2 patch will check if the cpu is from AMD.

vsmp still need that checking...

this patch is fix for vsmp
