[PATCH] x86: Report Intel platform_id in /proc/cpuinfo

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

We have a need to distinguish systems based on their platform ID.
For example this is useful to distinguish systems with L4 cache
versus ones without.

There is a 5 bit identifier (also called processor flags) in
the IA32_PLATFORM_ID MSR that can give a more fine grained
identification of the CPU than just the model number/stepping.

IA32_PLATFORM_ID is architectural.

The processor flags are already used in the microcode driver.
The MSR can be also accessed through /dev/cpu/*/msr, but that
requires root and is awkward.

This patch just exports the value retrieved by the microcode
driver in /proc/cpuinfo. If the microcode driver is disabled
it won't be shown, but that seems reasonable.
