x86: sysfs cpu?/topology is empty in 2.6.25 (32-bit Intel system)



System topology on intel based system needs to be exported
for non-numa case as well.

All parts of asm-i386/topology.h has come under
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA after the merge to asm-x86/topology.h

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/* is populated based on
ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES

The sysfs cpu topology is not being populated on my dual socket
dual core xeon 5160 processor based (x86 32 bit) system.

CONFIG_NUMA is not set in my case yet the topology is relevant
and useful.

irqbalance daemon application depends on topology to build the
cpus and package list and it fails on Fedora9 beta since the
sysfs topology was not being populated in the 2.6.25 kernel.

I am not sure if it was intentional to not define ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
for non-numa systems.

This fix has been tested on the above mentioned dual core, dual socket
system.
