The big question is why are you clobbering bx , dx registers on get
cpuid:

        _asm__ __volatile__ ("cpuid"
                          : "=a" (eax), "=c" (ecx)
                          : "0" (1)
                          : "bx", "dx");

You can change this to:
        
                _asm__ __volatile__ ("cpuid"
                          : "=a" (eax), "=c" (ecx)
                          : "0" (1)
                          );

But I am not sure why this is there?
