[PATCH 151/208] x86/fpu: Introduce cpu_has_xfeatures(xfeatures_mask, feature_name)

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 13:54:18 EST


A lot of FPU using driver code is querying complex CPU features to be
able to figure out whether a given set of xstate features is supported
by the CPU or not.

Introduce a simplified API function that can be used on any CPU type
to get this information. Also add an error string return pointer,
so that the driver can print a meaningful error message with a
standardized feature name.

Also mark xfeatures_mask as __read_only.
