x86: Introduce hypervisor_cpuid_base()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
