    x86/cpufeature: Fix various quality problems in the <asm/cpu_device_hd.h> header · 266d63a7
    Ingo Molnar authored
    Thomas noticed that the new arch/x86/include/asm/cpu_device_id.h header is
    a train-wreck that didn't incorporate review feedback like not using __u8
    in kernel-only headers.
    
    While at it also fix all the *other* problems this header has:
    
     - Use canonical names for the header guards. It's inexplicable why a non-standard
       guard was used.
    
     - Don't define the header guard to 1. Plus annotate the closing #endif as done
       absolutely every other header. Again, an inexplicable source of noise.
    
     - Move the kernel API calls provided by this header next to each other, there's
       absolutely no reason to have them spread apart in the header.
    
     - Align the INTEL_CPU_DESC() macro initializations vertically, this is easier to
       read and it's also the canonical style.
    
     - Actually name the macro arguments properly: instead of 'mod, step, rev',
       spell out 'model, stepping, revision' - it's not like we have a lack of
       characters in this header.
    
     - Actually make arguments macro-safe - again it's inexplicable why it wasn't
       done properly to begin with.
    
    Quite amazing how many problems a 41 lines header can contain.
    
    This kind of code quality is unacceptable, and it slipped through the
    review net of 2 developers and 2 maintainers, including myself, until
    Thomas noticed it. :-/
