[WIP DNM] x86: build cpukinds from AMD CPUID leaf 0x80000026
Use coretype to build "AMD-ECore" and "AMD-Pcore" kinds.
Use power efficiency rankings to build kinds with native efficiencies.
Only tested on manually modified CPUID values. Merge this once tested on an actual platform. Likely soon since some code (in AMD Pstate driver) is under review.
@superm1 thanks to your CPUID dump in #690, I was able to verify that this code mostly works:
CPU kind #0 efficiency -1 cpuset 0x00ff0ff0
CoreType = AMD-ECore
CPU kind #1 efficiency -1 cpuset 0x0000f00f
CoreType = AMD-PCore
Does this CPU report EfficiencyRanking? I see 1 in EfficiencyRankingAvailable=1 in the first level but the ranking I read is 0 for all cores (that's why I have "efficiency -1" (unknown) above).
Also, I am not sure I understand why AsymmetricTopology=1 only in the second level, EfficiencyRankingAvailable=1 only in first level (that one is documented), and HeterogeneousCores=1 in first 3 levels but not in 4th.

It's a topology indicator only. IE how they're grouped into larger units. It's meant to be used in conjunction with bit 30 and 29. IE if it's "1" then software is supposed to discover more details from 30 and 29.
EfficiencyRankingAvailable=1 only in first level (that one is documented)
I think APM explains that already.
HeterogeneousCores=1 in first 3 levels but not in 4th
It's a single socket system.
@superm1 Is the "NativeModelId" CPUID info supposed to be the same for all cores on hybrid CPUs? The doc says "This value is used by software to further differentiate implementation specific software visible properties between the cores". I am not sure if that applies to cores of different chips, or different cores of the same chip.
I couldn't find the PPR for Strix Point. In the 19h family PPR, I see "Zen4" as the only NativeModelID possible value. Could we see some hybrid CPUs return something like "Zen5" and "Zen5c" for different cores? Or will they all return "Zen5" while CoreType is the only field distinguishing between Ecore and Pcore?
By the way, in case you missed the question above: Does this CPU report EfficiencyRanking? I see 1 in EfficiencyRankingAvailable=1 in the first level but the ranking I read is 0 for all cores (that's why I have "efficiency -1" (unknown) above).
Yeah the publication of the docs sometimes lags a bit from the launch, sorry about that. I double checked though and 0h means Zen5 for NativeModelId on Strix. There is no differentiation of Zen5 vs Zen5c at this field. You would tell that from CoreType when called with the cpuid is called with level 1h (Core)

I guess not; but I'm not sure why. There are definitely rankings utilized from the CPPC MSRs.
