Now that I'm looking at this with fresher eyes, I think below form would
be much better:

    cpuid_eax_native()
    cpuid_ebx_native()
    cpuid_ecx_native()
    cpuid_edx_native()

So that it aligns with:

    cpuid_eax()
    cpuid_ebx()
    cpuid_ecx()
    cpuid_edx()

at the rest of the <cpuid/api.h> header.  Thus the diff becomes:

-   cpuid_1_eax = native_cpuid_eax(1);
+   cpuid_1_eax = cpuid_eax_native(1);

-   if (native_cpuid_ecx(1) & BIT(31))
+   if (cpuid_ecx_native(1) & BIT(31))

But I'll wait for review feedback before rolling a v2.  Maybe people want
to keep having "native_" at the start, instead of forcing a strict
"cpuid_" namespace.

(With "CPUID refactoring" hat on, and as the above mini diff shows, I
 honestly think forcing a "cpuid_" namespace, even on native OPs, is much
 cleaner.)
