Add new code to read and parse cpu identification data using the new CPUID

Description

Add new code to read and parse cpu identification data using the new CPUID
mechanism defined for armv7 (and also present on some armv6 chips including
the arm1176 used on rpi). The information is parsed into a global cpuinfo
structure, which will be used by (upcoming) new cache and tlb maintenance
code to handle cpu-specific variations of the maintence sequences.
