Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a161545ab53b174c016b0eb63c2895266665d2f6



Intel-SIG: commit a161545a x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate Intel Hybrid Technology feature bit
Backport as a dependency for Sierra Forrest core PMU support.

-------------------------------------

Add feature enumeration to identify a processor with Intel Hybrid
Technology: one in which CPUs of more than one type are the same package.
On a hybrid processor, all CPUs support the same homogeneous (i.e.,
symmetric) instruction set. All CPUs enumerate the same features in CPUID.
Thus, software (user space and kernel) can run and migrate to any CPU in
the system as well as utilize any of the enumerated features without any
change or special provisions. The main difference among CPUs in a hybrid
processor are power and performance properties.
