Subject: [PATCH 2/4] perf/x86/ibs: Use CPUID region helper


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

IBS details are enumerated in an extended CPUID leaf.  But
the support has an open-coded CPUID region check.  Use the
new helper to trim down the code.

Note: this cleanup could take another form:

        if (boot_cpu_data->extended_cpuid_level >= IBS_CPUID_FEATURES)
                caps = cpuid_eax(IBS_CPUID_FEATURES);

that would be one fewer CPUID invocations, but one more
line of code.
