[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Expose LLC size to user space

The algorithm/information was originally written by Chad, though I
changed the control flow, and I think his original code had a couple of
bugs, though I didn't look very hard before rewriting. That could have
also been different interpretations of the spec.

The excellent comments remain entirely copied from Chad's code.

I've tested this on two platforms, and it seems to perform how I want.

+ * Return the size, in bytes, of the CPU L3 cache size. If the CPU has no L3
+ * cache, or if an error occurs in obtaining the cache size, then return 0.
+ * From "Intel Processor Identification and the CPUID Instruction > 5.15
+ * Deterministic Cache Parmaeters (Function 04h)":
+ *    When EAX is initialized to a value of 4, the CPUID instruction returns
+ *    deterministic cache information in the EAX, EBX, ECX and EDX registers.
+ *    This function requires ECX be initialized with an index which indicates
+ *    which cache to return information about. The OS is expected to call this
+ *    function (CPUID.4) with ECX = 0, 1, 2, until EAX[4:0] == 0, indicating no
+ *    more caches. The order in which the caches are returned is not specified
+ *    and may change at Intel's discretion.
+ *
+ * Equation 5-4. Calculating the Cache Size in bytes:
+ *          = (Ways +1) � (Partitions +1) � (Line Size +1) � (Sets +1)
+ *          = (EBX[31:22] +1) � (EBX[21:12] +1) � (EBX[11:0] +1 � (ECX + 1)
