[PATCH 0/8] x86: Remove cpu_has_xfeatures() and add AVX-512 xor_gen()

[Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>]

My patch "lib/raid/xor: x86: Add AVX-512 optimized xor_gen()"
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260615190338.26581-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/)
still seems to be blocked on a Sashiko comment about cpu_has_xfeatures()
not being called.

However, the x86-optimized RAID library code supports UML, and currently
UML doesn't implement cpu_has_xfeatures().  That's perhaps why the
existing AVX-512 optimized RAID6 code doesn't check it either.

In fact, it seems to have been getting by fine without it, which
suggests that it's not truly needed.

But to eliminate any doubts, I've had a go at fully resolving the
situation by making both native x86 and UML explicitly clear any
X86_FEATURE_* flags at boot time whose xfeatures are missing.

Then, cpu_has_xfeatures() is entirely removed from the kernel.

The last patch adds the AVX-512 optimized xor_gen().  I do still think
it would be fine to proceed with it without the rest.  But if there are
any doubts, we can take this more comprehensive cleanup route.
