Inspired by Linux commit c49a0a80137c7ca7d6ced4c812c9e07a949f6f24:

    There have been reports of RDRAND issues after resuming from suspend on
    some AMD family 15h and family 16h systems. This issue stems from a BIOS
    not performing the proper steps during resume to ensure RDRAND continues
    to function properly.

    Update the CPU initialization to clear the RDRAND CPUID bit for any family
    15h and 16h processor that supports RDRAND. If it is known that the family
    15h or family 16h system does not have an RDRAND resume issue or that the
    system will not be placed in suspend, the "cpuid=rdrand" kernel parameter
    can be used to stop the clearing of the RDRAND CPUID bit.

    Note, that clearing the RDRAND CPUID bit does not prevent a processor
    that normally supports the RDRAND instruction from executing it. So any
    code that determined the support based on family and model won't #UD.

Slightly RFC, in particular because of the change to parse_xen_cpuid():
Alternative approach suggestions are welcome.
