Subject: [PATCH v2 09/27] x86/cpu: Use parsed CPUID(0x80000001)

Use parsed CPUID(0x80000001) access instead of a direct CPUID query.

The affected code has the check:

	(eax & 0xffff0000) == 0x80000000

to protect against 32-bit CPUs that lack extended CPUID support.  A
similar check is already done at the CPUID(0x80000001) scanner read
function at cpuid_parser.c:

	/*
	 * Protect against 32-bit CPUs lacking extended CPUID support: Max
	 * extended CPUID leaf must be in the 0x80000001-0x8000ffff range.
	 */
	if ((el0->max_ext_leaf & 0xffff0000) != 0x80000000) {
		// Handle error
	}

Thus, just check that the parsed CPUID macro:

	cpuid_leaf(c, 0x80000000)

does not return NULL, thus providing a sanity check similar to the
original code.
