I will fix this in next version.

I will re-use cpuid_count() from cpuflags.c. But it is missing definition
for cpuid_eax(0). So, I will have to define a new function to handle it.
Hope its alright with you.

It is used for handling TDX specific I/O support in decompressor code.

You can find its usage in https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1444186/

May be I should move this patch next to that patch for easy reading.

I will send the new series with review fixes. Also, since this patch is only
used by I/O support code, I will move this patch to another TDX series which
adds TDX I/O support.
