I think Dave's main concern was that I'd added an AMD copyright banner

source file the new one was derived from, since dropping an existing
copyright seemed similarly in bad taste,...

Well, I think simply saying where this function was carved out from:

	arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c

is good enough. If someone is so much interested in a copyright, someone
can read that file's copyright. Especially since that copyright line
in the original file is not telling you a whole lot about who are all
copyright owners.

And before we delve into lawyer-land, let's simply point to where we got
this from and be done with it.

Thx.
