Dave Hansen fab0c75d50 x86/cpu: Add platform ID to CPU matching structure
The existing x86_match_cpu() infrastructure can be used to match
a bunch of attributes of a CPU: vendor, family, model, steppings
and CPU features.

But, there's one more attribute that's missing and unable to be
matched against: the platform ID, enumerated on Intel CPUs in
MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID. It is a little more obscure and is only
queried during microcode loading. This is because Intel sometimes
has CPUs with identical family/model/stepping but which need
different microcode. These CPUs are differentiated with the
platform ID.

Add a field in 'struct x86_cpu_id' for the platform ID. Similar
to the stepping field, make the new field a mask of platform IDs.
Some examples:

	0x01: matches only platform ID 0x0
	0x02: matches only platform ID 0x1
	0x03: matches platform IDs 0x0 or 0x1
	0x80: matches only platform ID 0x7
	0xff: matches all 8 possible platform IDs

Since the mask is only a byte wide, it nestles in next to another
u8 and does not even increase the size of 'struct x86_cpu_id'.

Reserve the all 0's value as the wildcard (X86_PLATFORM_ANY). This
avoids forcing changes to existing 'struct x86_cpu_id' users.  They
can just continue to fill the field with 0's and their matching will
work exactly as before.

Note: If someone is ever looking for space in 'struct x86_cpu_id',
this new field could probably get stuck over in ->driver_data
for the one user that there is.
