cpuid.h from gcc 4.4.4 on CentOS 6

Clang's cpuid.h is very crude compare to gcc's one (at least from version 4.4
onward as I haven't checked before that). The latter has code to test whether
cpuid is actually supported by the processor and perhaps more importantly it
provides a bunch of defines to help parsing the values returned in eax, ebx,
ecx and edx. Nothing stellar but it feels a bit stupid to have to parrot the
same code times and again. For your convenience, I have attached one such gcc's
cpuid.h.
