I am just curious whether you have tested this on  a CPU revision prior revF.
Because "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide for AMD Athlon 64 and AMD
Opteron Processors" suggests that this register exists for those older CPUs:

"CPUID Fn[8000_0001,0000_0001]_EAX Family, Model, Feature Identifiers

 This register provides identical information to Function 3, Offset FCh."

(I don't have access to such a CPU model at the moment and thus can't
double-check this now.)
