x86: Check the lower byte of EAX of CPUID leaf 2 [BZ #30643]
The old Intel software developer manual specified that the low byte of EAX of CPUID leaf 2 returned 1 which indicated the number of rounds of CPUDID leaf 2 was needed to retrieve the complete cache information. The newer Intel manual has been changed to that it should always return 1 and be ignored. If the lower byte isn't 1, CPUID leaf 2 can't be used. In this case, we ignore CPUID leaf 2 and use CPUID leaf 4 instead. If CPUID leaf 4 doesn't contain the cache information, cache information isn't available at all. This addresses BZ #30643.
