I'm torn about this one.

native_*() is a pretty generic way to denote baremetal methods, all 
around the x86 tree:

  starship:~/tip> git grep -E '\<native_' arch/x86/ | wc -l
  682

Likewise for:

	native_cpuid_eax()
	native_cpuid_ebx()
	native_cpuid_ecx()
	native_cpuid_edx()

I think it might be better to leave these as native_cpuid_*, because 
shifting a naming inconsistency into another namespace isn't really a 
net improvement.

'git grep cpuid_eax' will still give meaningful results, so 
greppability of cpuid_ APIs only suffers somewhat. The for_each_cpuid_ 
methods are already outliers.

There's always a bigger fish^W prefix. ;-)
