Avi, what's the reason for doing this in the host_cpuid code? As I see
it, the first version should work for both 64-bit and 32-bit code.

#ifdef __x86_64__
    asm volatile("cpuid"
                 : "=a"(vec[0]), "=b"(vec[1]),
                   "=c"(vec[2]), "=d"(vec[3])
                 : "0"(function), "c"(count) : "cc");
#else
    asm volatile("pusha \n\t"
                 "cpuid \n\t"
                 "mov %%eax, 0(%1) \n\t"
                 "mov %%ebx, 4(%1) \n\t"
                 "mov %%ecx, 8(%1) \n\t"
                 "mov %%edx, 12(%1) \n\t"
                 "popa"
                 : : "a"(function), "c"(count), "S"(vec)
                 : "memory", "cc");
#endif
