Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] x86: Add cpu_detect_cache_sizes to init_intel() add Quark legacy_cache()

Intel processors which don't report cache information via cpuid(2)
or cpuid(4) need quirk code in the legacy_cache_size callback to
report this data. For Intel that callback is is intel_size_cache().

This patch enables calling of cpu_detect_cache_sizes() inside of
init_intel() and hence the calling of the legacy_cache callback in
intel_size_cache(). Adding this call will ensure that PIII Tualatin
currently in intel_size_cache() and Quark SoC X1000 being added to
intel_size_cache() in this patch will report their respective cache
sizes.

This model of calling cpu_detect_cache_sizes() is consistent with
AMD/Via/Cirix/Transmeta and Centaur.

Also added is a string to idenitfy the Quark as Quark SoC X1000
giving better and more descriptive output via /proc/cpuinfo

Adding cpu_detect_cache_sizes to init_intel() will enable calling
of intel_size_cache() on Intel processors which currently no code
can reach. Therefore this patch will also re-enable reporting
of PIII Tualatin cache size information as well as add
Quark SoC X1000 support.
