x86/cpu: Add platform ID to CPU matching structure
The existing x86_match_cpu() infrastructure can be used to match a bunch of attributes of a CPU: vendor, family, model, steppings and CPU features. But, there's one more attribute that's missing and unable to be matched against: the platform ID, enumerated on Intel CPUs in MSR_IA32_PLATFORM_ID. It is a little more obscure and is only queried during microcode loading. This is because Intel sometimes has CPUs with identical family/model/stepping but which need different microcode. These CPUs are differentiated with the platform ID. Add a field in 'struct x86_cpu_id' for the platform ID. Similar to the stepping field, make the new field a mask of platform IDs. Some examples: 0x01: matches only platform ID 0x0 0x02: matches only platform ID 0x1 0x03: matches platform IDs 0x0 or 0x1 0x80: matches only platform ID 0x7 0xff: matches all 8 possible platform IDs Since the mask is only a byte wide, it nestles in next to another u8 and does not even increase the size of 'struct x86_cpu_id'. Reserve the all 0's value as the wildcard (X86_PLATFORM_ANY). This avoids forcing changes to existing 'struct x86_cpu_id' users. They can just continue to fill the field with 0's and their matching will work exactly as before. Note: If someone is ever looking for space in 'struct x86_cpu_id', this new field could probably get stuck over in ->driver_data for the one user that there is.
