Subject: [PATCH v11 1/7] Refactor handling of x86 CPUID instructions

Introduce two helpers for CPUID, pg_cpuid and pg_cpuid_subleaf that wrap
the platform specific __get_cpuid/__cpuid and __get_cpuid_count/__cpuidex
functions.

Additionally, introduce the CPUIDResult struct to make code working with
CPUID easier to read by referencing the register name (e.g. ECX) instead
of a numeric index.
