Subject: [PATCH v3 20/22] netoops: Add x86 specific bits to packet headers

We need to be able to gather information about the CPUs that caused the
crash.  Rather than hope that the data is available in the dmesg
recieved, and is still parsable, send a binary representation in each
packet.  This allows us to quickly identify crashes even in cases where
we crash and burn as part of the netoops process (or if we timeout
asynchronously on a hardware watchdog).

This commit only handles x86, but it should be easy to add any
per-architecture specific information going forward in a compatible way.

Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@...gle.com>

Changelog:
- v3
  - Added x86 vendor to the packet header.
  - Split out the arch specific data into its own data structure.  Only
    x86 is available at the moment.  This data will want to transition
    into per-arch code at some point.
