I think it would be better if this patch only focused on CPU features 
and leave dealing with switch table to subsequent patches.

If I understand correctly , this gets later (patch 8) replaced by 
arch_find_switch_table() which can return NULL if unable to find a 
switch table.

So, is it necessary to introduce this function at this stage of the 
patchset? Can't we just have directly arch_find_switch_table() ?

Also, I believe that in the end you keep the two 
arch_support_switch_table() implementations (x86 and arm64) despite 
getting rid of the only caller (in patch 8).

Maybe you could have something like:

void arch_select_alt_path(unsigned short feature, struct special_alt *alt);

or arch_process_alt_inst(...);

This way you just let the arch decide what to do for alternative 
instructions associated with their features, and call it in the "if 
(entry->feature)" branch of get_alt_entry().

You don't need to pass the "uaccess" as that info is globally accessible 
from builtin.h.

With my above suggestion you shouldn't need that and just use the arch 
specific alternative handling set the alt->skip_orig.
