Ok, this is because this patch inverts dependencies and I need AGP_AMD64
and GART_IOMMU to depend explicitly on K8_NB, which is the more natural
thing to do. Here's a better version, it survived a couple of hundred
randconfig builds last night:

Subject: [PATCH -v2] x86, k8 nb: Enable k8_northbridges unconditionally on AMD

de957628ce7c84764ff41331111036b3ae5bad0f changed setting of the
x86_init.iommu.iommu_init function ptr only when GART IOMMU is found.

One side effect of it is that num_k8_northbridges
is not initialized anymore if not explicitly
called. This resulted in uninitialized pointers in
<arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:amd_calc_l3_indices()>,
for example, which uses the num_k8_northbridges thing through
node_to_k8_nb_misc().

Fix that through an initcall that runs right after the PCI subsystem and
does all the scanning. Then, remove initialization in gart_iommu_init()
which is a rootfs_initcall and we're running before that.

What is more, since num_k8_northbridges is being used in other places
beside GART IOMMU, include it whenever we add AMD CPU support. The
previous dependency chain in kconfig contained

K8_NB depends on AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU

which was clearly incorrect. The more natural way in terms of hardware
dependency should be

AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU depends on K8_NB depends on CPU_SUP_AMD && PCI.
Make it so Number One!
