Subject: [PATCH v1 00/40] x86: Leaf 0x2 and leaf 0x4 refactorings

Hi,

As part of the onging x86-cpuid work [*], we've found that the handling
of leaf 0x2 and leaf 0x4 code paths is difficult to work with in its
current state.  This was mostly due to the organic growth of the x86/cpu
and x86/cacheinfo logic since its very early Linux days.

This series cleans up and refactors these code paths in preparation for
the new x86-cpuid model.

Summary:

- Patches 1 to 3 are independent bugfixes that were discovered during
  this refactoring work.

- Patches 4 to 10 are x86/cpu refactorings for code size and
  readability.

- Patch 10 adds standardized and kernel-doc documented logic for
  accessing leaf 0x2 one byte descriptors.

  This makes the leaf 0x2 sanitization logic centralized in one place.
  x86/cpu and x86/cacheinfo is modified to use such macros afterwards.

- Patches 11 to 28 refactors the x86/cacheinfo code.

  Beside readability, some of the unrelated logic (e.g. AMD northbridge
  cache_disable sysfs code) was first splitted from the generic leaf 0x4
  code paths, at the structure relationships level, then gutted-out into
  their own files.

- Patches 29 to 31 consolidate the existing (loop-based lookup) leaf 0x2
  cache and TLB descriptor tables into one hash-based lookup table.
  This reduces code size while still keeping rodata size in check.

  Standardized macros for accessing this consolidated table are also
  added.  Call sites can now just do:

	const struct leaf_0x2_table *entry;
	union leaf_0x2_regs regs;
	u8 *ptr;

	get_leaf_0x2_regs(&regs);
	for_each_leaf_0x2_entry(regs, ptr, entry) {
		switch (entry->c_type) {
			...
		}
	}

  without need to worry about sanitizing registers, skipping certain
  descriptors, etc.

- Patches 32 and 33 uses the consolidated table above for x86/cpu and
  x86/cacheinfo.

- Patches 34 to 40 provide the final set of x86/refactorings.

This series is based on -rc5.  It also applies cleanly on top of
tip/x86/core.

Note, testing was done by comparing below files:

	/proc/cpuinfo
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/
	/sys/kernel/debug/x86/topo/
	dmesg --notime | grep 'Last level [id]TLB entries'

before and after on various old and new x86 machine configurations.
