Update kcpuid's CSV file to version v2.0, as generated by x86-cpuid-db.
Summary of the v2.0 changes:
* Introduce the leaves:
- Leaf 0x00000003, Transmeta Processor serial number
- Leaf 0x80860000, Transmeta max leaf number + CPU vendor ID
- Leaf 0x80860001, Transmeta extended CPU information
- Leaf 0x80860002, Transmeta Code Morphing Software (CMS) enumeration
- Leaf 0x80860003 => 0x80860006, Transmeta CPU information string
- Leaf 0x80860007, Transmeta "live" CPU information
- Leaf 0xc0000000, Centaur/Zhaoxin's max leaf number
- Leaf 0xc0000001, Centaur/Zhaoxin's extended CPU features
* Add a 0x prefix for leaves 0x0 to 0x9. This maintains consistency with
the rest of the CSV entries.
* Add the new bitfields:
- Leaf 0x7: nmi_src, NMI-source reporting
- Leaf 0x80000001: e_base_type and e_mmx (Transmeta)
* Update the section headers for leaves 0x80000000 and 0x80000005 to
indicate that they are also valid for Transmeta.
Notes:
Leaf 0x3, being not unique to Transmeta, is handled at the generated
CSV file v2.3 update, later in this patch queue.
Leaf 0x80000001 EDX:23 bit, e_mmx, is also available on AMD. A bugfix
is already merged at x86-cpuid-db's -tip for that, and it will be part
of the project's upcoming v2.4 release.:

For parsing the cpuid bitfields, kcpuid uses an incomplete CSV file with
300+ bitfields.
Use an auto-generated CSV file from the x86-cpuid.org project instead.
It provides complete bitfields coverage: 830+ bitfields, all with proper
descriptions.
The auto-generated file has the following blurb automatically added:
# SPDX-License-Identifier: CC0-1.0
# Generator: x86-cpuid-db v1.0
The generator tag includes the project's workspace "git describe"
version string. It is intended for projects like KernelCI, to aid in
verifying that the auto-generated files have not been tampered with.
The file also has the blurb:
# Auto-generated file.
# Please submit all updates and bugfixes to https://x86-cpuid.org
It's thus kindly requested that the Linux kernel's x86 tree maintainers
enforce sending all updates to x86-cpuid.org's upstream database first,
thus benefiting the whole ecosystem.

End users frequently want to know what features their processor
supports, independent of what the kernel supports.
/proc/cpuinfo is great. It is omnipresent and since it is provided by
the kernel it is always as up to date as the kernel. But, it could be
ambiguous about processor features which can be disabled by the kernel
at boot-time or compile-time.
There are some user space tools showing more raw features, but they are
not bound with kernel, and go with distros. Many end users are still
using old distros with new kernels (upgraded by themselves), and may
not upgrade the distros only to get a newer tool.
So here arise the need for a new tool, which
* shows raw CPU features read from the CPUID instruction
* will be easier to update compared to existing userspace
tooling (perhaps distributed like perf)
* inherits "modern" kernel development process, in contrast to some
of the existing userspace CPUID tools which are still being developed
without git and distributed in tarballs from non-https sites.
* Can produce output consistent with /proc/cpuinfo to make comparison
easier.
The CPUID leaf definitions are kept in an .csv file which allows for
updating only that file to add support for new feature leafs.
This is based on prototype code from Borislav Petkov
(http://sr71.net/~dave/intel/stupid-cpuid.c).
[ bp:
- Massage, add #define _GNU_SOURCE to fix implicit declaration of
function ‘strcasestr' warning
- remove superfluous newlines
- fallback to cpuid.csv in the current dir if none found
- fix typos
- move comments over the lines instead of sideways. ]
