"xstate.disable=0x60000" will disable AMX on a system that has AMX compiled
into XFEATURE_MASK_USER_ENABLED.
"xstate.enable=0x60000" will enable AMX on a system that does NOT have AMX
compiled into XFEATURE_MASK_USER_ENABLED (assuming the kernel is new enough
to support this feature).
Rename XFEATURE_MASK_USER_SUPPORTED to XFEATURE_MASK_USER_ENABLED to be
aligned with the new parameters.
While this cmdline is currently enabled only for AMX, it is intended to be
easily enabled to be useful for future XSAVE-enabled features.

Changes from v2:
* Changed the kernel tainted when any unknown state is enabled. (Andy
Lutomirski)
* Simplified the cmdline handling.
* Edited the changelog.
Changes from v1:
* Renamed the user state mask define (Andy Lutomirski and Dave Hansen)
* Changed the error message (Dave Hansen)
* Fixed xfeatures_mask_user()
* Rebased the upstream kernel (5.10) -- revived the param parse function

+ The kernel is compiled with a default xstate bitmask --
+ enabling it to use the XSAVE hardware to efficiently
+ save and restore thread states on context switch.
+ xstate.enable allows adding to that default mask at
+ boot-time without recompiling the kernel just to support
+ the new thread state. (Note that the kernel will ignore
+ any bits in the mask that do not correspond to features
+ that are actually available in CPUID) xstate.disable
+ allows clearing bits in the default mask, forcing the
+ kernel to forget that it supports the specified thread
+ state. When a bit set for both, the kernel takes
+ xstate.disable in a priority.
