MP table multicore patch

I have patched src/arch/i386/smp/mpspec.c to write a correct, multi-core
MP table under amdfam10.  The change is mainly to add APIC cluster
scanning support, as the amdfam10 processors place all auxiliary APICs
under one APIC cluster device.

Before this patch on my MSI 9652 board an MP table was written with only
one CPU.  After the patch the MP table contained all 8 installed cores, 4
in each physical socket.

Patch is attached.  If accepted, the ACPI code should also be updated in a
similar manner.

I think this is very desirable and a great functionality improvement!

But this code is not nice at all.

Could you shift it around so that it uses continue aggressively, and
has shorter variable names? It looks like that could reduce
indentation two or three levels, and then the code might actually be
visible in my terminal...

Is this romcc code? If not, maybe it could even be recursive..
