Subject: [PATCH PATCH 1/9] x86/cpu/topology: Add x86_cpu_type to struct
 cpuinfo_topology

Sometimes it is required to identify the type of a core for taking specific
actions e.g. intel_pstate driver uses the core type to determine CPU
scaling. Also, some CPU vulnerabilities only affect a specific CPU type
e.g. RFDS only affects Intel Atom. For hybrid systems that have variants
P+E, P-only(Core) and E-only(Atom), it gets challenging to identify which
variant is vulnerable to a specific vulnerability, as these variants share
the same family, model and stepping.

Such processors do have CPUID fields that uniquely identify them. Like,
P+E, P-only and E-only enumerates CPUID.1A.CORE_TYPE, while P+E
additionally enumerates CPUID.7.HYBRID. Linux does not currently use this
field.

Add a new field cpu_type to struct cpuinfo_topology which can be used to
match a CPU based on its type.

The cpu_type is populated in the below debugfs file:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/topo/cpus/N
