Query cpuid once per guest selftest and store the cpu vendor type so that
subsequent queries can reuse the cached cpu vendor type.

I don't love the name, "check" makes me think the purpose of the helper is to
assert something.  Maybe cache_cpu_vendor()?  Though this might be a moot point
(more at the end).

Align indentation, should be:

	if (ebx == intel_id_chunks[0] && edx == intel_id_chunks[1] &&
	    ecx == intel_id_chunks[2])

> +		is_cpu_vendor_intel = true;

Same here.

> +			is_cpu_vendor_amd = true;
> +	}

Though that's likely a moot point since manually checking the chunks (multiple
times!) is rather heinous.  Just store the CPUID output into an array and then
use strncmp() to check the vendor.  Performance isn't a priority for this code.

  static void cache_cpu_vendor(void)
  {
	uint32_t ign, vendor[3];
	static bool cached;

	if (cached)
		return;

	cpuid(0, &ign, &vendor[0], &vendor[2], &vendor[1]);

	is_cpu_vendor_intel = !strncmp((char *)vendor, "GenuineIntel", 12);
	is_cpu_vendor_amd = !strncmp((char *)vendor, "AuthenticAMD", 12);

	cached = true;
  }

That said, I like the v2 approach a lot more, we just need to better name the
host variables to make it very clear that the info being cached is the _host_
vendor, and then provide separate helpers that bypass caching (though I don't
think there would be any users?), again with better names.

The confidential VM use case, and really kvm_hypercall() in general, cares about
the host vendor, i.e. which hypercall instruction won't fault.  Actually, even
fix_hypercall_test is in the same boat.

I don't like auto-caching the guest info because unlike the host (assuming no
shenanigans in a nested setup), the guest vendor string can be changed.  I don't
think it's likely that we'll have a test that wants to muck with the vendor string
on the fly, but it's not impossible, e.g. fix_hypercall_test dances pretty close
to that.

The independent guest vs. host caching in this version is also very subtle, though
that can be solved with comments.

E.g. first make is_intel_cpu() and is_amd_cpu() wrappers to non-caching helpers
that use "this_cpu_..." naming to match other selftests code.  Then rename
is_intel_cpu() and is_amd_cpu() to is_{intel,amd}_host(), with a blurb in the
changelog calling out that fix_hypercall_test wants the host vendor and also passes
through the host CPUID vendor.  And then do the precomputation stuff like in v2.

E.g. for step #1

You probably mean to suggest using memcmp here since this section will
get executed from the guest context (which may not have access to
strncmp). Makes sense to structure the implementation this way as I
get more comfortable using string_override.c.

Ok, I misunderstood the earlier discussion [1] about using host cpuid
to check the vendor type instead of the guest cpuid being problematic.
If all the current and foreseeable users would be ok with native
hypercall using host cpuid then I will fall back to approach in V2.
