Support OOB CPU frequency control for EMR/GNR/SRF/GRR/CWF

Test:
This PR only takes effect on special SKUs with OOB cpu frequency control.
Tested on regular GNR/CWF SKUs, no regression found.

Note:
This PR depends on the CWF CPUID support, so it is rebased on top of
#72
The first 11 patches are from #72
1: KVM: x86: Advertise AVX-VNNI-INT8 CPUID to user space
2: x86/cpu: Add model number for Intel Clearwater Forest processor

commit 24d74b9 upstream.

AVX-VNNI-INT8 is a new set of instructions in the latest Intel platform
Sierra Forest, aims for the platform to have superior AI capabilities.
This instruction multiplies the individual bytes of two unsigned or
unsigned source operands, then adds and accumulates the results into the
destination dword element size operand.

The bit definition:
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EDX[bit 4]

AVX-VNNI-INT8 is on a new and sparse CPUID leaf and all bits on this
leaf have no truly kernel use case for now. Given that and to save space
for kernel feature bits, move this new leaf to KVM-only subleaf and plus
an x86_FEATURE definition for AVX-VNNI-INT8 to direct it to the KVM
entry.

Advertise AVX-VNNI-INT8 to KVM userspace. This is safe because there are
no new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to
use this feature.

commit a0423af92cb31e6fc4f53ef9b6e19fdf08ad4395 upstream.

Latest Intel platform Clearwater Forest has introduced new instructions
enumerated by CPUIDs of SHA512, SM3, SM4 and AVX-VNNI-INT16. Advertise
these CPUIDs to userspace so that guests can query them directly.

SHA512, SM3 and SM4 are on an expected-dense CPUID leaf and some other
bits on this leaf have kernel usages. Considering they have not truly
kernel usages, hide them in /proc/cpuinfo.

These new instructions only operate in xmm, ymm registers and have no new
VMX controls, so there is no additional host enabling required for guests
to use these instructions, i.e. advertising these CPUIDs to userspace is
safe.

commit a9d0adc upstream.

Refactor struct cpuinfo_x86 so that the vendor, family, and model
fields are overlaid in a union with a 32-bit field that combines
all three (together with a one byte reserved field in the upper
byte).

This will make it easy, cheap, and reliable to check all three
values at once.

See

  https://lore.kernel.org/r/Zgr6kT8oULbnmEXx@agluck-desk3

for why the ordering is (low-to-high bits):

  (vendor, family, model)

  [ bp: Move comments over the line, add the backstory about the
    particular order of the fields. ]

The OOB identifying bits are same as for the prior generation CPUs
like Sapphire Rapids servers, so also add Emerald Rapids to the
