[XEN PATCH v2 2/9] x86/cpuid: address violation of MISRA C Rule 16.2
Refactor the switch so that a violation of MISRA C Rule 16.2 is resolved
(A switch label shall only be used when the most closely-enclosing
compound statement is the body of a switch statement).
Note that the switch clause ending with the pseudo
keyword "fallthrough" is an allowed exception to Rule 16.3.

No functional change.

Personally I dislike with for of writing such. It may not be overly much of a
problem for simple cases like here, but the more complex the expression gets,
the less helpful it is that somewhere far away there's an enclosing !(...). I
may take the liberty to adjust this, should I end up committing this change.

Much like one actually needs to consider re-flowing when increasing indentation
of a comment, it is generally desirable to also to so when decreasing
indentation, which in this case surely would allow at least "context" to be
moved to the earlier line.

Ok, makes sense. I didn't think about that style aspect.
