[PATCH 0/3] x86/CPUID: CPUID parsing rework, p1

2018-11-14 Thread Borislav Petkov
From: Borislav Petkov Hi all, this is the beginning of a long conversion. The final goal is to have one global, read-only CPUID hierarchy representation in arch/x86/ to replace all the gazillion places where CPUID is read and thus slim a lot of code. And improve all that X86_FEATURE* diddling.
