So the AMD NB stuff in events/amd/core.c is only for Fam10, Fam15 got its own uncore driver. (Fam10 had the uncore events through the same counters as the core PMU with with 'fun' constraints). And since Fam10 isn't affected by this change in x86_max_cores, this _should_ work out, IF that NB code knows to switch off properly when not required.
