Revert "x86, AMD: Fix APIC timer erratum 400 affecting K8 Rev.A-E processors"

This reverts commit e20a2d20

, as it crashes
certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models.

Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate
earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply
not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking
framework:

* missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP:

* makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E
idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in
deeper C-states:

Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.
