The kernel has a set of utilities and definitions to deal with x86 cpu
features.  The x86 KVM selftests don't use them, and instead have
evolved to use differing and ad-hoc methods for checking features. The
advantage of the kernel feature definitions is that they use a format
that embeds the info needed to extract them from cpuid (function, index,
and register to use).

The first 3 patches massage the related cpuid header files in the kernel
side, then copy them into tools/ so they can be included by selftests.
The last 2 patches replace the tests checking for cpu features to use
the definitions and utilities introduced from the kernel.

I queued the first, but I am not sure about the rest.

An alternative is to copy over the code from kvm-unit-tests which encodes the leaf/subleaf/register/bit values into the X86_FEATURE_* value. Sharing code with kvm-unit-tests is probably simpler than adding #ifdef __KERNEL__ and keeping the headers in sync.
