Yes :). This is because it is inside #ifdef CONFIG_AMD_NB which perhaps
nobody has set in 2.6.32. (Other than that we have the kernel in suse
enterprise for some time already.)

@Willy: 24d25dbfa63c3 is not enough. The header referenced in
2.6.32.55's patch does not exist in that tree yet. It was renamed from
asm/k8.h to asm/amd_nb.h later (by 23ac4ae827e62).

Given nobody noticed till now, I would incline to drop that patch from
2.6.32 series. Opinions?

Yeah, I see, I replied to the announcement and added Willy. Your email
was @ suse, so you should have not received a copy anyway :).
