These should go into x86.c. If the functions later gain meaning on
Intel, we want them to be called (and nothing in the name suggests
they're AMD specific).


I was to suggest the reverse: since this patch addesses an AMD bug, why not push those functions into perf_event_amd.c and make them dependent on CONFIG_CPU_SUP_AMD as well.
