I checked AMD website today and found out a new CPUID Spec. Rev. 2.34 
was just released:

http://support.amd.com/us/Embedded_TechDocs/25481.pdf

They have added CPUID 0x8000001d and 0x8000001e to detect topology, it 
seems.  Also, CPUID 0x80000001 %ecx bit 22 (TopologyExtensions) tells 
you whether the above CPUID functions are supported.

Interesting...
