new x86 feature bits should definitely show up in the x86 tree too
So can we add sse4.1 into this patch also as:
#define X86_FEATURE_XMM4_1 (4*32+19)
even though now no obvious user is asking it in kernel.
The best would be to:
1. rename all the feature bits which have inconsistent names in their
#defines and in /proc/cpuinfo;
2. generate the /proc/cpuinfo table
(arch/x86/kernel/cpu/feature_names.c) automatically from
cpufeature.h.
2. is quite trivial, and 1. can be done largely automatically. I will
experiment with this.
