Assume that preservation of the %xmm registers is unnecessary during
installation of iPXE into memory, since this is an operation that by
its nature substantially disrupts large portions of the system anyway
(such as the E820 memory map). This assumption allows us to utilise
the existing CPUID code to check that FXSAVE/FXRSTOR are supported.
Test for support during the call to init_librm and store the flag for
use during subsequent calls to virt_call.
Reduce the scope of TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND to affecting only the call
to check_fxsr(), to reduce #ifdef pollution in the remaining code.

For some CPUID leaves (e.g. %eax=0x00000004), the result depends on
the input value of %ecx. Allow this subfunction number to be
specified as a parameter to the cpuid() wrapper.
The subfunction number is exposed via the ${cpuid/...} settings
mechanism using the syntax
${cpuid/<subfunction>.0x40.<register>.<function>}
e.g.
${cpuid/0.0x40.0.0x0000000b}
${cpuid/1.0x40.0.0x0000000b}
to retrieve the CPU topology information.

Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
initialisation.
TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.
TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).
TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a
usable timer. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line
option "-cpu host,+invtsc".)

Allow CPUID values to be read using the syntax
${cpuid/<register>.<function>}
For example, ${cpuid/2.0x80000001} will give the value of %ecx after
calling CPUID with %eax=0x80000001. Values for <register> are encoded
as %eax=0, %ebx=1, %ecx=2, %edx=3.
The numeric encoding is more sophisticated than described above,
allowing for settings such as the CPU model (obtained by calling CPUID
with %eax=0x80000002-0x80000004 inclusive and concatenating the values
returned in %eax:%ebx:%ecx:%edx). See the source code for details.
The "cpuvendor" and "cpumodel" settings provide easy access to these
more complex CPUID settings.
This functionality is intended to complement the "cpuid" command,
which allows for testing individual CPUID feature bits.
