[PATCH 13/16] i386/cpu: Select legacy cache model based on vendor in CPUID 0x80000005 |

As preparation for merging cache_info_cpuid4 and cache_info_amd in
X86CPUState, set legacy cache model based on vendor in the CPUID
0x80000005 leaf. For AMD CPU, select legacy AMD cache model (in
cache_info_amd) as the default cache model like before, otherwise,
select legacy Intel cache model (in cache_info_cpuid4).
To ensure compatibility is not broken, add an enable_legacy_vendor_cache
flag based on x-vendor-only-v2 to indicate cases where the legacy cache
model should be used regardless of the vendor. For CPUID 0x80000005
leaf, enable_legacy_vendor_cache flag indicates to pick legacy AMD cache
model, which is for compatibility with the behavior of PC machine v10.0
and older.
The following explains how current vendor-based default legacy cache
model ensures correctness without breaking compatibility.
* For the PC machine v6.0 and older, vendor_cpuid_only=false, and
vendor_cpuid_only_v2=false.
- If the named CPU model has its own cache model, and doesn't use
legacy cache model (legacy_cache=false), then cache_info_cpuid4 and
cache_info_amd are same, so 0x80000005 leaf uses its own cache model
regardless of the vendor.
- For max/host/named CPU (without its own cache model), then the flag
enable_legacy_vendor_cache is true, they will use legacy AMD cache
model just like their previous behavior.
* For the PC machine v10.0 and older (to v6.1), vendor_cpuid_only=true,
and vendor_cpuid_only_v2=false.
- No change, since this leaf doesn't aware vendor_cpuid_only.
* For the PC machine v10.1 and newer, vendor_cpuid_only=true, and
vendor_cpuid_only_v2=true.
- If the named CPU model has its own cache model (legacy_cache=false),
then cache_info_cpuid4 & cache_info_amd both equal to its own cache
model, so it uses its own cache model in 0x80000005 leaf regardless
of the vendor. Only Intel CPUs have all-0 leaf due to
vendor_cpuid_only_2=true, and this is exactly the expected behavior.
- For max/host/named CPU (without its own cache model), then the flag
enable_legacy_vendor_cache is false, the legacy cache model is
selected based on vendor.
For AMD CPU, it will use legacy AMD cache as expected.
For Intel CPU, it will use legacy Intel cache but still get all-0
leaf due to vendor_cpuid_only_2=true as expected.
(Note) And for Zhaoxin CPU, it will use legacy Intel cache model
instead of AMD's. This is the difference brought by this change! But
it's correct since then Zhaoxin could have the consistent cache info
in CPUID 0x2, 0x4 and 0x80000005 leaves.
Here, except Zhaoxin, selecting the legacy cache model based on the
vendor does not change the previous (before the change) behavior.
And the change for Zhaoxin is also a good improvement.
Therefore, the above analysis proves that, with the help of the flag
enable_legacy_vendor_cache, it is acceptable to select the default
legacy cache model based on the vendor.
For the CPUID 0x80000005 leaf, in X86CPUState, a unified cache_info is
enough. It only needs to be initialized and configured with the
corresponding legacy cache model based on the vendor.

Note, side effect of this patch: fix the inconsistency cache info for
Zhaoxin. For more details, see the commit message above.
