Linux kernel (from v6.4, with commit edc0a2b595765 ("x86/topology: Fix
erroneous smp_num_siblings on Intel Hybrid platforms") is able to
handle platforms with Module level enumerated via CPUID.1F.
Expose the module level in CPUID[0x1F] if the machine has more than 1
modules.
(Tested CPU topology in CPUID[0x1F] leaf with various die/cluster
configurations in "-smp".)

Changes since v3:
* New patch to expose module level in 0x1F.
* Add Tested-by tag from Yongwei.

A question:
Is the original checking necessary ?
The 0x1f exists even on cpu w/o modules/dies topology on bare metal, I tried
on EMR:
// leaf 0
0x00000000 0x00: eax=0x00000020 ebx=0x756e6547 ecx=0x6c65746e edx=0x49656e69
// leaf 0x1f
0x0000001f 0x00: eax=0x00000001 ebx=0x00000002 ecx=0x00000100 edx=0x00000004
0x0000001f 0x01: eax=0x00000007 ebx=0x00000080 ecx=0x00000201 edx=0x00000004
0x0000001f 0x02: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000002 edx=0x00000004
// leaf 0xb
0x0000000b 0x00: eax=0x00000001 ebx=0x00000002 ecx=0x00000100 edx=0x00000004
0x0000000b 0x01: eax=0x00000007 ebx=0x00000080 ecx=0x00000201 edx=0x00000004
0x0000000b 0x02: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000002 edx=0x00000004
So here leads to different cpu behavior from bare metal, even in case
of "-cpu host".
In SDM Vol2, cpudid instruction section:
" CPUID leaf 1FH is a preferred superset to leaf 0BH. Intel
recommends using leaf 1FH when available rather than leaf
0BH and ensuring that any leaf 0BH algorithms are updated to
support leaf 1FH. "
My understanding: if 0x1f is existed (leaf 0.eax >= 0x1f)
then it should have same values in lp/core level as 0xb.
