CPUID leaf 0x2 describes TLBs and caches. So there are two tables with the
respective descriptor constants in intel.c and cacheinfo.c. The tables
occupy almost 600 byte and require a loop based lookup for each variant.
Combining them into one table occupies exactly 1k rodata and allows to get
rid of the loop based lookup by just using the descriptor byte provided by
CPUID leaf 0x2 as index into the table, which simplifies the code and
reduces text size.
The conversion of the intel.c and cacheinfo.c code is done separately.
[ darwi: Actually define struct leaf_0x2_table.
Tab-align all of cpuid_0x2_table[] mapping entries.
Define needed SZ_* macros at <linux/sizes.h> instead (merged commit.)
Use CACHE_L1_{INST,DATA} as names for L1 cache descriptor types.
Set descriptor 0x63 type as TLB_DATA_1G_2M_4M and explain why.
Use enums for cache and TLB descriptor types (parent commits.)
Start enum types at 1 since type 0 is reserved for unknown descriptors.
Ensure that cache and TLB enum type values do not intersect.
Add leaf 0x2 table accessor for_each_leaf_0x2_entry() + documentation. ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
