AFAIK a subarchitecture needs different kernel support from other subarchitectures. As an AMD processor is x86 compatible, it is not a subarchitecture but just an x86 processor from a manufacturer other than Intel... Also, even if AMD is currently the most common x86 clone, it is not the only one (certainly not historically).
