[PATCH v2] x86/perf : Add check for CPUID instruction before using

[Matthew Whitehead]

We still officially support the ancient i486 cpu. First generation
versions of this processor do not have the CPUID instruction, though
later versions do. Therefore you must check that the cpu supports
it before using it. At present it fails with an "Illegal Instruction"
signal on the early processors.

v1: cpuid detection code based on GCC gcc/config/i386/cpuid.h
    https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob_plain;f=gcc/config/i386/cpuid.h;hb=HEAD
v2: cpuid detection code based on Linux kernel arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c
