it's being called "Xe2 EU" now

like any rename change in doc or bspec?

it's not just about reporting the fuse, it's about reporting the Xe2 EU
count... I don't think it's really an UAPI change - this is being done
to Xe2, we can't really change older platforms (not that it really
matters for the Xe driver, but I think it's best to keep the older
platforms as is).

I pinged all the UMDs as if this was a UAPI change and pointed to this
thread for them to chime in.
