This is what AMD calls it: <http://git.kernel.org/linus/ca86828ccd31>.

There is no fixed relation between PCI IDs and family numbers.  I'd
guess this symbol is named differently because there is no single
family; "CNB" probably stands for "common northbridge".

If I had to guess, I'd assume that it uses the same sensor.  However,
AMD hasn't yet published documentation for the Bulldozer family.

The file name seems to be misleading; that code actually manages only
the L3 cache and the GART, and family 12h/14h CPUs have neither.
