On Intel AlderLake-N platforms where there are Ecores only, the Ecore
Module topology is enumerated via CPUID.1F Module level, which has not
been supported by Linux kernel yet.

This exposes two issues in current CPUID.1F handling code.
1. Linux interprets the Module ID bits as package ID and erroneously
   reports a multi module system as a multi-package system.
2. Linux excludes the unknown Module ID bits from the core ID, and results
   in duplicate core ID’s shown in a package after the first issue solved.

Plus that, a third problem is observed on Intel Hybrid ADL-S/P platforms.
The return value of CPUID.1F SMT level EBX (number of siblings) differs on
Pcore CPUs and Ecore CPUs, and results in inconsistent smp_num_siblings
value based on the Pcore/Ecore CPU enumeration order. This could bring
some potential issues although we have not observed any functionalities
issues so far.

This patch series fixes these three problems in CPUID.1F handling code,
together with some related fixes and document updates.

thanks,
-rui
