[PATCH v2] tools/power x86_energy_perf_policy: fix cpuid for i686

From: Benson Leung
Date: Tue Feb 21 2012 - 23:04:34 EST


x86_energy_perf_policy reads cpuid using the cpuid instruction.
On i686, when building with PIC, this clobbers ebx, the PIC register.

Fixed using the same cpuid accessor function that vapier@xxxxxxxxxxxx
created for i7z:
http://code.google.com/p/i7z/issues/detail?id=31

v2 : make cpuid static inline. Remove unused eax from validate_cpuid and
clean up return variables from cpuid().
