This patch cause build errors for some non x86 architecture, because of
'cpuid.h'.
There is already a 'rte_cpuid.h' file that includes 'cpuid.h' and it is
x86 only file.
@Selwin, does it makes sense to implement the feature you are trying to
get in eal/x86 level and use that API in the driver?
For those eal/x86 APIs, they will be missing in other architectures,
@David which one is better, to implement APIs for other architectures
but those just return error, or restrict driver build to x86?
