Chris McDermott from IBM confirmed that hurricane chipset in IBM summit
platforms doesn't support logical flat mode.  Irrespective of the other
things like apic_id's, total number of logical cpu's, Linux kernel
should default to physical mode for this system.

The 32-bit kernel does so using the OEM checks for the IBM summit
platform.  Add a similar OEM platform check for the 64bit kernel too.

Otherwise the linux kernel boot can hang on this platform under certain
bios/platform settings.
