Hi,
The post you're refering had a patch applied to the kernel, its somewhere back there in the archives. Basically what's happening is that the kernel assumes that a stepping of zero means unknown, but for AMD's such a stepping is valid. The fix is rather trivial, look into arch/i386/kernel/setup.c inside get_cpuinfo().
Cheers,
Rafael
