Impact: debuggability and micro-optimization
Putting whatever is possible into the (final) .rodata section increases
the likelihood of catching memory corruption bugs early, and reduces
false cache line sharing.

1. add c_x86_vendor into cpu_dev
2. change cpu_devs to static
3. check c_x86_vendor before put that cpu_dev into array
4. remove alignment for 64bit
5. order the sequence in cpu_devs according to link sequence...
so could put intel at first, then amd...

Replace the hardcoded list of initialization functions for each CPU
vendor by a list in an ELF section, which is read at initialization in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu.c to fill the cpu_devs[] array. The ELF
section, named .x86cpuvendor.init, is reclaimed after boot, and
contains entries of type "struct cpu_vendor_dev" which associates a
vendor number with a pointer to a "struct cpu_dev" structure.
This first modification allows to remove all the VENDOR_init_cpu()
functions.
This patch also removes the hardcoded calls to early_init_amd() and
early_init_intel(). Instead, we add a "c_early_init" member to the
cpu_dev structure, which is then called if not NULL by the generic CPU
initialization code. Unfortunately, in early_cpu_detect(), this_cpu is
not yet set, so we have to use the cpu_devs[] array directly.
This patch is part of the Linux Tiny project, and is needed for
further patch that will allow to disable compilation of unused CPU
support code.
