Introduce X86_PROPERTY_* to allow retrieving values/properties from CPUID leafs, e.g. MAXPHYADDR from CPUID.0x80000008. Use the same core code as X86_FEATURE_*, the primary difference is that properties are multi-bit values, whereas features enumerate a single bit. Add this_cpu_has_p() to allow querying whether or not a property exists based on the maximum leaf associated with the property, e.g. MAXPHYADDR doesn't exist if the max leaf for 0x8000_xxxx is less than 0x8000_0008. Use the new property infrastructure in vm_compute_max_gfn() to prove that the code works as intended. Future patches will convert additional selftests code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
