x86/cpu/amd: Make the NODEID_MSR union actually work
A system with NODEID_MSR was reported to crash during early boot without any output. The reason is that the union which is used for accessing the bitfields in the MSR is written wrongly and the resulting executable code accesses the wrong part of the MSR data. As a consequence a later division by that value results in 0 and that result is used for another division as divisor, which obviously does not work well. The magic world of C, unions and bitfields: union { u64 bita : 3, bitb : 3; u64 all; } x; x.all = foo(); a = x.bita; b = x.bitb; results in the effective executable code of: a = b = x.bita; because bita and bitb are treated as union members and therefore both end up at bit offset 0. Wrapping the bitfield into an anonymous struct: union { struct { u64 bita : 3, bitb : 3; }; u64 all; } x; works like expected. Rework the NODEID_MSR union in exactly that way to cure the problem.
