Subject: EDAC, amd64: Add x86cpuid sanity check during init

From: Yazen Ghannam <[email protected]>

[ 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.
