[PATCH] x86-64/i386: Intel HT, Multi core detection fixes
Fields obtained through cpuid vector 0x1(ebx[16:23]) and
vector 0x4(eax[14:25], eax[26:31]) indicate the maximum values and might not
always be the same as what is available and what OS sees. So make sure
"siblings" and "cpu cores" values in /proc/cpuinfo reflect the values as seen
by OS instead of what cpuid instruction says. This will also fix the buggy BIOS
cases (for example where cpuid on a single core cpu says there are "2" siblings,
even when HT is disabled in the BIOS.
