Subject: [PATCH 1/8] KVM: x86: minor size optimization

Some fields can be constified and/or made static to reduce code and data
size.

Numbers for a 32 bit build:

        text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
before: 3351      80       0    3431     d67 cpuid.o
 after: 3391       0       0    3391     d3f cpuid.o
