Subject: [PATCH 1/15 -tip] x86: Add cpufeature for Processor Name


Processor Name / Brand String (Function 8000_0002h, 8000_0003h, 8000_0004h)
Functions 8000_0002h, 8000_0003h, and 8000_0004h each return up to 16 ASCII bytes of the processor name in the EAX, EBX, ECX, and EDX registers.

X86_FEATURE_PNAME will be useful for displaying MSRs like AMD:
MSRC001_00[35:30] Processor Name String Registers
