Hmm, that shouldn't happen. AFAICT, amd_cache_northbridges() doesn't
prevent us from loading as it should.

Can you send me your .config please? Privately is fine too.

It is late here so I can only think of this totally untested fix right
now:

---
diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c b/arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c
index a147e676fc7b..b913c6173c1b 100644
--- a/arch/x86/kernel/amd_nb.c

 		i++;
 
 	if (i == 0)
-		return 0;
+		return -1;
 
 	nb = kzalloc(i * sizeof(struct amd_northbridge), GFP_KERNEL);
 	if (!nb)

More staring tomorrow.

Thanks!
