* Adds header definitions for PPC64le
* Adds support to construct the processor, core, cluster, package
and cache(L1i,L1d,L2 and L3) information reported by the system.
Test: Build and ran cpu_info on PPC64le linux machine. confirmed
that it properly reports the logical processors, cores, clusters,
packages and cache information.

The 'disabled' field was declared for configurations other than SMT8
mode, but it is already handled during PowerPC64 Linux system
initialization. This change removes the redundant code.

Added header definitions for PPC64LE.
Implemented support to construct and report processor topology information including processor, core, cluster, package, PVR, and cache levels (L1i, L1d, L2, and L3).
Test:
Built and executed cpu_info on a PPC64LE Linux machine. Confirmed that it accurately reports logical processors, cores, clusters, packages, and cache information.
Ran unit tests and verified that there were no regressions.
