Subject: [PATCH v5 1/4] x86/cpu/topology: Always try cpu_parse_topology_ext() on AMD/Hygon

Support for parsing the topology on AMD/Hygon processors using CPUID
leaf 0xb was added in commit 3986a0a805e6 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Derive CPU
topology from CPUID function 0xB when available"). In an effort to keep
all the topology parsing bits in one place, this commit also introduced
a pseudo dependency on the TOPOEXT feature to parse the CPUID leaf 0xb.

TOPOEXT feature (CPUID 0x80000001 ECX[22]) advertises the support for
Cache Properties leaf 0x8000001d and the CPUID leaf 0x8000001e EAX for
"Extended APIC ID" however support for 0xb was introduced alongside the
x2APIC support not only on AMD [1], but also historically on x86 [2].

Similar to 0xb, the support for extended CPU topology leaf 0x80000026
too does not depend on the TOPOEXT feature.

The support for these leaves is expected to be confirmed by ensuring
"leaf <= {extended_}cpuid_level" and then parsing the level 0 of the
respective leaf to confirm EBX[15:0] (LogProcAtThisLevel) is non-zero as
stated in the definition of "CPUID_Fn0000000B_EAX_x00 [Extended Topology
Enumeration] (Core::X86::Cpuid::ExtTopEnumEax0)" in Processor
Programming Reference (PPR) for AMD Family 19h Model 01h Rev B1 Vol1 [3]
Sec. 2.1.15.1 "CPUID Instruction Functions".

This has not been a problem on baremetal platforms since support for
TOPOEXT (Fam 0x15 and later) predates the support for CPUID leaf 0xb
(Fam 0x17[Zen2] and later), however, for AMD guests on QEMU, "x2apic"
feature can be enabled independent of the "topoext" feature where QEMU
expects topology and the initial APICID to be parsed using the CPUID
leaf 0xb (especially when number of cores > 255) which is populated
independent of the "topoext" feature flag.

Unconditionally call cpu_parse_topology_ext() on AMD and Hygon
processors to first parse the topology using the XTOPOLOGY leaves
(0x80000026 / 0xb) before using the TOPOEXT leaf (0x8000001e).

While at it, break down the single large comment in parse_topology_amd()
to better highlight the purpose of each CPUID leaf.

Changelog v4..v5:

o Made a note on only targeting versions >= v6.9 for stable backports
  since the fix depends on the x86 topology rewrite. (Boris)

o Renamed "has_topoext" to "has_xtopology". (Boris)

o Broke down the large comment in parse_topology_amd() to better
  highlight the purpose of each leaf and the overall parsing flow.
