Refactor struct cpuinfo_x86 so that the vendor, family, and model
fields are overlaid in a union with a 32-bit field that combines
all three (together with a one byte reserved field in the upper
byte).
This will make it easy, cheap, and reliable to check all three
values at once.
See
https://lore.kernel.org/r/Zgr6kT8oULbnmEXx@agluck-desk3
for why the ordering is (low-to-high bits):
(vendor, family, model)
[ bp: Move comments over the line, add the backstory about the
particular order of the fields. ]
