I am starting to work on a new x86 feature and submitting this in
preparation for that.

I couldn't find much documentation for the <linux> tag. When is it
expected to be included?

Also, are the following linux hint attributes documented somewhere? I
couldn't decipher them from their name itself.

Does feature="true" mean the feature is intended for linux or it is
merged into the linux kernel?
