I needed this while refactoring the cacheinfo.c leaf 0x8000001d code at
patch 11/29 ("x86/cacheinfo: Consolidate AMD/Hygon leaf 0x8000001d
calls") as the combined check was done multiple times.

Then I found that there are 28 other cases in the x86 tree where the
AMD/Hygon CPU vendor check is also combined.  So I did that macro and it
also made a number the affected sites more succinct; e.g.:

Nonetheless, I've seen your other emails in the thread, and I'll drop the
patch.

Thanks!
