[v2][PATCH 0/5] x86/cpu: Remove duplicate microcode version matching infrastructure

[Dave Hansen]

Changes from v1:
 * Fix missing conversion site in i10nm (Boris)
 * Shorten X86_STEPPING_MIN/MAX and helper names (Boris)
 * Fix up changelog typo/thinko reversing struct names (Tony)
 * Move skx_cpuids[] to a non-stepping helper
Changes from RFC:
 * Convert stepping match helpers to always take a range and never
   take a raw stepping bitmap. - Ingo

x86 has generic CPU matching infrastructure. This lets you build
tables of CPUs with some property.  It's mostly used for enumerating
model-specific features, but it is quite a bit more flexible than
that. In includes a facility to match steppings and microcode
versions. This generic infrastructure is built around 'struct
x86_cpu_id'.

There is a less generic, parallel CPU matching facility built around
'struct x86_cpu_desc'. It is used only for matching specific microcode
revisions.  All of the 'struct x86_cpu_desc' users can be converted to
'struct x86_cpu_id'.

Do that conversion then remove the 'struct x86_cpu_desc'
infrastructure.

Feedback is getting pretty cosmetic at this point so barring any big
comments on this, I'll probably apply it early next week.
