So should we do a bit of extraction to bring the two closer together? I.e.
h/c file with only the device info and feature macros, nothing else. We
still need the split, but well we need the structure in a header anyway.
If you actually want to bring them closer together, then you need to bring
them closer together. Not arbitrarily prefer one over the other (while
still having piles of other users around of the non-preferred version).

gen3 did double-clock too, just fyi :-) We survived just fine without a
feature flag on that.
Anyway, just my bikeshed.

HAS_2PPC definitely makes sense, but I'm not sure it makes sense to stuff
everything into intel_device_info. Going that way some people might start
to think that this is the complete solution to describing everything, and
that definitely doesn't work.
