index_* and bit_* macros are used to access cpuid and feature arrays o
struct cpu_features. It is very easy to use bits and indices of cpuid
array on feature array, especially in assembly codes. For example,
sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/bcopy.S has
HAS_CPU_FEATURE (Fast_Rep_String)
which should be
HAS_ARCH_FEATURE (Fast_Rep_String)
We change index_* and bit_* to index_cpu_*/index_arch_* and
bit_cpu_*/bit_arch_* so that we can catch such error at build time.

GLIBC benchtest testcases shows SSE2_Unaligned based implementations
are performing faster compare to SSE2 based implementations for
routines: strcmp, strcat, strncat, stpcpy, stpncpy, strcpy, strncpy
and strstr. Flag index_Fast_Unaligned_Load is set for Excavator family
0x15h CPU's. This makes SSE2_Unaligned based implementations as
default for these routines.
[BZ #19467]
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Set
index_Fast_Unaligned_Load flag for Excavator family CPUs.
It shows improvement up to 28% over AVX2 memset (performance results
attached at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-12/msg00052.html>).

Prefer_No_VZEROUPPER for Knights Landing.
Knights Landing processor is based on Silvermont. This patch enables
Silvermont optimizations for Knights Landing.

Silvermont optimizations for Knights Landing.
AMD CPUs uses the similar encoding scheme for extended family and model
as Intel CPUs as shown in:
http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/25481.pdf
This patch updates get_common_indeces to get family and model for both
Intel and AMD CPUs when family == 0x0f.
[BZ #19214]
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (get_common_indeces): Add an
argument to return extended model. Update family and model
with extended family and model when family == 0x0f.
(init_cpu_features): Updated.
We detect i586 and i686 features at run-time by checking CX8 and CMOV
CPUID features bits. We can use these information to select the best
implementation in ix86 multiarch. HAS_I586/HAS_I686 is true if i586/i686
instructions are available on the processor.
Due to the reordering and the other nifty extensions in i686, it is not
really good to use heavily i586 optimized code on an i686. It's better
to use i486 code if it isn't an i586. USE_I586/USE_I686 is true if
i586/i686 implementation should be used for the processor. USE_I586
is true only if i686 instructions aren't available. If i686 instructions
are available, we always choose i686 or i486 implementation, in that order,
and we never choose i586 implementation for i686-class processors.

cpuid, i586 and i686 instructions are available if the processor
specified by -march= supports them. We can use this information
to determine whether those instructions can be used safely.

whether cpuid is available only if HAS_CPUID is 0.

Since not all i486 processors support cpuid, we call __get_cpuid_max to
check if cpuid is available before using it if not compiling for i586,
i686 nor x86-64.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Call
__get_cpuid_max if not compiling for i586, i686 nor x86-64.
