[PATCH 1/2] KVM: x86: Add build-time assertion on usage of bit()

[Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com>]

Add build-time checks to ensure KVM isn't trying to do a reverse CPUID
lookup on Linux-defined feature bits, along with comments to explain
the gory details of X86_FEATUREs and bit().

Note, the premature newline in the first line of the second comment is
intentional to reduce churn in the next patch.
