Rework cpufeature implementation to allow for various cpu feature
indications, which is not only limited to hwcap bits. This is achieved
by adding a sequential list of cpu feature numbers, where each of them
is mapped to an entry which indicates what this number is about.

Each entry contains a type member, which indicates what feature
name space to look into (e.g. hwcap, or cpu facility). If wanted this
allows also to automatically load modules only in e.g. z/VM
configurations.
