[RFC PATCH 0/5] x86/cpufeature: Cleanups and improvements

[Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

So here's the first version of what we talked about. I've ran randbuilds
on it for a night because of patch 1 with all the header reorg and we
all know how that can be painful. So this version passes all randbuild
configs I had generated.

In talking about patch 1, it is a bit big but if you look at the
diffstat, it basically is fixing a bunch of includes and the meat of it
being the carving out of the X86_FEATURE_* things to a separate file.

Rest of the patches should be pretty self-explanatory, check the
respective commit messages.

I haven't tested it functionally yet (booting in kvm doesn't really
count) - thus the RFC tag. I thought I should send it out first so that
people can doublecheck me on the direction this is going.

Thanks!

Borislav Petkov (4):
  x86/cpufeature: Carve out X86_FEATURE_*
  x86/cpufeature: Remove static_cpu_has()
  x86/cpufeature: Get rid of the non-asm goto variant
  x86/alternatives: Add an auxilary section
