Subject: [PATCH 01/10] x86/CPU: Expose if cache is inclusive of lower level caches

Deterministic cache parameters can be learned from CPUID leaf 04H.
Executing CPUID with a particular index in EAX would return the cache
parameters associated with that index in the EAX, EBX, ECX, and EDX
registers.

At this time, when discovering cache parameters for a particular cache
index, only the parameters returned in EAX, EBX, and ECX are parsed.
Parameters returned in EDX are ignored. One of the parameters in EDX,
whether the cache is inclusive of lower level caches, is valuable to
know when determining if a system can support L3 cache pseudo-locking.
If the L3 cache is not inclusive then pseudo-locked data within the L3
cache would be evicted when migrated to L2.

Add support for parsing the cache parameters obtained from EDX and make
the inclusive cache parameter available via the cacheinfo that can be
queried from the cache pseudo-locking code.

Do not expose this information to user space at this time. At this time
this information is required within the kernel only. Also, it is
not obvious what the best formatting of this information should be in
support of the variety of ways users may use this information.
