[PATCH V2 1/4] x86: introduce hypervisor_cpuid_base()

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

This patch introduce hypervisor_cpuid_base() which loop test the hypervisor
existence function until the signature match and check the number of leaves if
required. This could be used by Xen/KVM guest to detect the existence of
hypervisor.
