x86: cpuid: allow querying %ecx-sensitive CPUID levels


After /dev/*/cpuid was introduced, Intel changed the semantics of the
CPUID instruction to be sentitive to %ecx as well as %eax.  This patch
allows querying of %ecx-sensitive levels by placing the %ecx value in
the upper 32 bits of the file position (lower 32 bits always were used
for the %eax value.)
