This series enables the TOPOEXT feature for AMD CPUs. This is required to
support hyperthreading on kvm guests.

This addresses the issues reported in these bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1481253
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1703506 

v4:
1.Removed the checks under cpuid 0x8000001D leaf(patch #2). These check are
  not necessary. Found this during internal review.
2.Added CPUID_EXT3_TOPOEXT feature for all the 17 family(patch #4). This was
  found by Kash Pande during his testing.
3.Removed th hardcoded cpuid xlevel and dynamically extended if CPUID_EXT3_TOPOEXT
  is supported(Suggested by Brijesh Singh). 

v3:
1.Removed the patch #1. Radim mentioned that original typo problem is in 
  linux kernel header. qemu is just copying those files.
2.In previous version, I used the cpuid 4 definitions for AMDs cpuid leaf
  0x8000001D. CPUID 4 is very intel specific and we dont want to expose those
  details under AMD. I have renamed some of these definitions as generic.
  These changes are in patch#1. Radim, let me know if this is what you intended.
3.Added assert to for core_id(Suggested by Radim Krčmář).
4.Changed the if condition under "L3 cache info"(Suggested by Gary Hook).
5.Addressed few more text correction and code cleanup(Suggested by Thomas Lendacky).

v2:
  Fixed few more minor issues per Gary Hook's comments. Thank you Gary.
  Removed the patch#1. We need to handle the instruction cache associativity 
  seperately. It varies based on the cpu family. I will comeback to that later.
  Added two more typo corrections in patch#1 and patch#5.

v1:
  Stanislav Lanci posted few patches earlier. 
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10040903/

Rebased his patches with few changes.
1.Spit the patches into two, separating cpuid functions 
  0x8000001D and 0x8000001E (Patch 2 and 3).
2.Removed the generic non-intel check and made a separate patch
  with some changes(Patch 5).
3.Fixed L3_N_SETS_AMD(from 4096 to 8192) based on CPUID_Fn8000001D_ECX_x03.

Added 2 more patches.
Patch 1. Fixes cache associativity.
Patch 4. Adds TOPOEXT feature on AMD EPYC CPU.

Babu Moger (3):
  target/i386: Generalize some of the macro definitions
  target/i386: Enable TOPOEXT feature on AMD EPYC CPU
  target/i386: Remove generic SMT thread check

Stanislav Lanci (2):
  target/i386: Populate AMD Processor Cache Information
  target/i386: Add support for CPUID_8000_001E for AMD
