CPUID writes to EAX, EBX, ECX, and EDX so the inline-asm must state that.
Otherwise currently in-use register might get overwritten which may
cause all kinds of failures like segfaults or wrong results.
Alternatively `__cpuid` can be used which avoids this and related issues.
So do that as suggested in the GCC issue https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112513
