x86/x64 CPUID in C#

I’m fairly certain you’re being blocked by DEP. The x_CPUIDy_INSNS byte arrays are in a segment of memory marked as data and non-executable.

EDIT:

That being said, I’ve gotten a version that compiles and runs, but I don’t think gets the right values. Perhaps this will get you along your way.

EDIT 2:

I think I have the right values coming back now. Feel free to validate.
