cpufeature.h.
2. is quite trivial, and 1. can be done largely automatically. I will
experiment with this.
i see you committed that into tip/x86/cpu - i just integrated that into
tip/master and pushed out the result. This way starting at v2.6.28 we'll
have only a single, non-redundant definition for CPU feature
information, from which we auto-generate the rest.
I did #2; I haven't done #1, since that's an all-sourcebase change; it
would probably make most sense to do at (approximately) the same time we
do the include/asm-x86 -> arch/x86/include change.
