    x86: Don't use potentially incorrect CPUID values for topology information
    
    Intel says for CPUID leaf 0Bh:
    
      "Software must not use EBX[15:0] to enumerate processor
       topology of the system. This value in this field
       (EBX[15:0]) is only intended for display/diagnostic
       purposes. The actual number of logical processors
       available to BIOS/OS/Applications may be different from
       the value of EBX[15:0], depending on software and platform
       hardware configurations."
    
    And yet, we're using them to derive the number cores in a package
    and the number of siblings in a core.
    
    Derive the number of siblings and cores from EAX instead, which is
    intended for that.
