Add support for Always Running APIC timer, CPUID_0x6_EAX_Bit2.
This bit means the APIC timer continues to run even when CPU is
in deep C-states.
The advantage is that we can use LAPIC timer on these CPUs
always, and there is no need for "slow to read and program"
external timers (HPET/PIT) and the timer broadcast logic
and related code in C-state entry and exit.

Impact: debuggability and micro-optimization
Putting whatever is possible into the (final) .rodata section increases
the likelihood of catching memory corruption bugs early, and reduces
false cache line sharing.

The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between
'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support':
config X86_SMP
bool
depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64)
This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use
smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended
more to cover all the specialities of Voyager.
So remove this complication in the Kconfig space.

Refactor the ->phys_pkg_id() methods:
- namespace separation
- macro wrapper removal
- open-coded calls to the methods in the generic code

- unify the call signature of 64-bit to that of 32-bit
- clean up the types all around
- clean up namespace contamination

Impact: Cleanup
When PAT was originally introduced, it was handled specially for a few
reasons:
- PAT bugs are hard to track down, so we wanted to maintain a
whitelist of CPUs.
- The i386 and x86-64 CPUID code was not yet unified.
Both of these are now obsolete, so handle PAT like any other features,
including ordinary feature blacklisting due to known bugs.

Impact: fix wrong cache sharing detection on platforms supporting > 8 bit apicid's
In the presence of extended topology eumeration leaf 0xb provided
by cpuid, 32bit extended initial_apicid in cpuinfo_x86 struct will be
updated by detect_extended_topology(). At this instance, we should also
reinit the apicid (which could also potentially be extended to 32bit).
With out this there will potentially be duplicate apicid's populated in the
per cpu's cpuinfo_x86 struct, resulting in wrong cache sharing topology etc
detected by init_intel_cacheinfo().

Impact: fix x86/Voyager boot
CONFIG_SMP is used for features which work on *all* x86 boxes.
CONFIG_X86_SMP is used for standard PC like x86 boxes (for things like
multi core and apics)

cpuid leaf 0xb provides extended topology enumeration. This interface provides
the 32-bit x2APIC id of the logical processor and it also provides a new
mechanism to detect SMT and core siblings (which provides increased
addressability).

Pentium III and Core Solo/Duo CPUs have an erratum
" Page with PAT set to WC while associated MTRR is UC may consolidate to UC "
which can result in WC setting in PAT to be ineffective. We will disable
PAT on such CPUs, so that we can continue to use MTRR WC setting.

x86: PAT: fixed checkpatch errors (and whitespaces)

Starting with commit 8d4a4300854f3971502e81dacd930704cb88f606 (x86:
cleanup PAT cpu validation) the PAT CPU feature flag is not cleared
anymore. Now the error message
"PAT enabled, but CPU feature cleared"
in pat_init() is misleading.
Furthermore the current code does not check for existence of the PAT
CPU feature flag if a CPU is whitelisted in validate_pat_support.
This patch clears pat_wc_enabled if boot CPU has no PAT feature flag
and adapts the paranoia check.

Move the scattered checks for PAT support to a single function. Its
moved to addon_cpuid_features.c as this file is shared between 32 and
64 bit.
Remove the manipulation of the PAT feature bit and just disable PAT in
the PAT layer, based on the PAT bit provided by the CPU and the
current CPU version/model white list.
Change the boot CPU check so it works on Voyager somewhere in the
future as well :) Also panic, when a secondary has PAT disabled but
the primary one has alrady switched to PAT. We have no way to undo
that.
The white list is kept for now to ensure that we can rely on known to
work CPU types and concentrate on the software induced problems
instead of fighthing CPU erratas and subtle wreckage caused by not yet
verified CPUs. Once the PAT code has stabilized enough, we can remove
the white list and open the can of worms.

The patch to suppress bitops-related warnings added a pile of ugly
casts. Many of these were related to the management of x86 CPU
capabilities. Clean these up by adding specific set/clear_cpu_cap
macros, and use them consistently.
