    x86/fpu: Introduce cpu_has_xfeatures(xfeatures_mask, feature_name) · 5b073430
    Ingo Molnar authored
    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.
