x86: fix APIC related bootup crash on Athlon XP CPUs

warmbloodedcreature@gmail.com reported that an APIC-enabled
Asus a7v8x-x with an Athlon XP reboots early in the bootup:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8723

after a long marathon of spontaneous-reboot debugging, it turns
out to be caused by sync_Arb_ids(). AMD CPUs never really needed
this sequence anyway, so just return early if we meet an AMD CPU.
