Subject: [PATCH] x86: Report Intel platform_id in /proc/cpuinfo

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

We have a need to distinguish systems based on their platform ID.
For example this is useful to distinguish systems with L4 cache
versus ones without.

There is a 3 bit identifier (also called processor flags) in
the IA32_PLATFORM_ID MSR that can give a more fine grained
identification of the CPU than just the model number/stepping.

IA32_PLATFORM_ID is architectural.

The MSR can be also accessed through /dev/cpu/*/msr, but that
requires root and is awkward.

The patch moves the reading of PLATFORM_INFO from the
(late) microcode driver code into the main intel CPU initialization
path and then also prints it in /proc/cpuinfo

v2: Handle 0 platform_id. Fix commit message.
v3: Move some code to cpu/intel.c
v4: Update description too.
