I've not looked at the "main" patch in the series that adds all of the
probing and structures for representing this info yet beyond a cursory
glance, but it feels like we're duplicating a bunch of infrastructure
here before it is necessary. The IDs are all internal to Linux, so I'd
rather we kept everything in the same structure until we have more than
a handful of vendor extensions. With this patch (and the theadpmu stuff)
we will have three vendor extensions which feels like a drop in the
bucket compared to the standard ones.

Same stuff about constant folding applies to these, I think these should
just mirror the existing functions (if needed at all).
