The topology related information is randomly scattered across cpuinfo_x86. Create a new structure cpuinfo_topo and move in a first step initial_apicid and apicid into it. Aside of being better readable this is in preparation for replacing the horribly fragile CPU topology evaluation code further down the road. Consolidate APIC ID fields to u32 as that represents the hardware type. No functional change.

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.
