This fixes a subtle bug. A bug that probably won't cause trouble for any
existing OS, but a bug anyway:
Intel SDM Volume 2, CPUID Instruction states:
> Two types of information are returned: basic and extended function
> information. If a value entered for CPUID.EAX is higher than the maximum
> input value for basic or extended function for that processor then the
> data for the highest basic information leaf is returned. For example,
> using the Intel Core i7 processor, the following is true:
>
> CPUID.EAX = 05H (* Returns MONITOR/MWAIT leaf. *)
> CPUID.EAX = 0AH (* Returns Architectural Performance Monitoring leaf. *)
> CPUID.EAX = 0BH (* Returns Extended Topology Enumeration leaf. *)
> CPUID.EAX = 0CH (* INVALID: Returns the same information as CPUID.EAX = 0BH. *)
> CPUID.EAX = 80000008H (* Returns linear/physical address size data. *)
> CPUID.EAX = 8000000AH (* INVALID: Returns same information as CPUID.EAX = 0BH. *)
AMD's CPUID Specification, on the other hand, is less specific:
> The CPUID instruction supports two sets or ranges of functions,
> standard and extended.
>
> • The smallest function number of the standard function range is
> Fn0000_0000. The largest function num- ber of the standard function
> range, for a particular implementation, is returned in CPUID
> Fn0000_0000_EAX.
>
> • The smallest function number of the extended function range is
> Fn8000_0000. The largest function num- ber of the extended function
> range, for a particular implementation, is returned in CPUID
> Fn8000_0000_EAX.
>
> Functions that are neither standard nor extended are undefined and
> should not be relied upon.
QEMU's behavior matched Intel's specification before, but this was
changed by commit b3baa152aa. This patch
restores the behavior documented by Intel when cpuid_xlevel2 is 0.
The existing behavior when cpuid_xlevel2 is set (falling back to
level=cpuid_xlevel) is being kept, as I couldn't find any public
documentation on the CPUID 0xC0000000 function range on Centaur CPUs.
