hvmloader's cpuid() implementation deviates from Xen's in that the value
passed on ecx is unspecified. This means that when used on leaves that
implement subleaves it's unspecified which one you get; though it's more
than likely an invalid one.
Import Xen's implementation so there are no surprises.

hvmloader")

... you alter indentation, without it becoming clear why you do so. Imo
there are only two ways of indenting this which are conforming to our
style - either as it was (secondary lines indented by one more level,
i.e. 4 more spaces) or
asm volatile ( "cpuid"
: "=a" (*eax), "=b" (*ebx), "=c" (*ecx), "=d" (*edx)
: "a" (leaf), "c" (subleaf) );
I guess I'll take the liberty and adjust while committing.

Sure, I don't mind about that.
As for the indentation difference, the inline assembly is taken quasi-verbatim
from arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h. That one happens to have this
indentation.
