From the SDM: "The least-significant byte in register EAX (register AL)
will always return 01H. Software should ignore this value and not
interpret it as an informational descriptor."
Unfortunately, online docs [1] [2] (likely based on an old version of the SDM)
say: "The least-significant byte in register EAX (register AL) indicates
the number of times the CPUID instruction must be executed with an input
value of 2 to get a complete description of the processor's caches and
TLBs."
dlang uses this second interpretation [3] and will loop 2^32 times if we
return zero. Fix this by specifying the fixed value of one. We still
don't support exposing the actual cache information, leaving all other
bytes empty. A zero byte means: "Null descriptor, this byte contains no
information."
