x86_64 has very clean espfix handling on paravirt: espfix64 is set
up in native_iret, so paravirt systems that override iret bypass
espfix64 automatically. This is robust and straightforward.
x86_32 is messier. espfix is set up before the IRET paravirt patch
point, so it can't be directly conditionalized on whether we use
native_iret. We also can't easily move it into native_iret without
regressing performance due to a bizarre consideration. Specifically,
on 64-bit kernels, the logic is:
if (regs->ss & 0x4)
setup_espfix;
On 32-bit kernels, the logic is:
if ((regs->ss & 0x4) && (regs->cs & 0x3) == 3 &&
(regs->flags & X86_EFLAGS_VM) == 0)
setup_espfix;
The performance of setup_espfix itself is essentially irrelevant, but
the comparison happens on every IRET so its performance matters. On
x86_64, there's no need for any registers except flags to implement
the comparison, so we fold the whole thing into native_iret. On
x86_32, we don't do that because we need a free register to
implement the comparison efficiently. We therefore do espfix setup
before restoring registers on x86_32.
This patch gets rid of the explicit paravirt_enabled check by
introducing X86_BUG_ESPFIX on 32-bit systems and using an ALTERNATIVE
to skip espfix on paravirt systems where iret != native_iret. This is
also messy, but it's at least in line with other things we do.
This improves espfix performance by removing a branch, but no one
cares. More importantly, it removes a paravirt_enabled user, which is
good because paravirt_enabled is ill-defined and is going away.

The Intel Software Developer Manual describes bit 24 in the MCG_CAP
MSR:
MCG_SER_P (software error recovery support present) flag,
bit 24 — Indicates (when set) that the processor supports
software error recovery
But only some models with this capability bit set will actually
generate recoverable machine checks.
Check the model name and set a synthetic capability bit. Provide
a command line option to set this bit anyway in case the kernel
doesn't recognise the model name.

There are two CPUID bits for protection keys. One is for whether
the CPU contains the feature, and the other will appear set once
the OS enables protection keys. Specifically:
Bit 04: OSPKE. If 1, OS has set CR4.PKE to enable
Protection keys (and the RDPKRU/WRPKRU instructions)
This is because userspace can not see CR4 contents, but it can
see CPUID contents.
X86_FEATURE_PKU is referred to as "PKU" in the hardware documentation:
CPUID.(EAX=07H,ECX=0H):ECX.PKU [bit 3]
X86_FEATURE_OSPKE is "OSPKU":
CPUID.(EAX=07H,ECX=0H):ECX.OSPKE [bit 4]
These are the first CPU features which need to look at the
ECX word in CPUID leaf 0x7, so this patch also includes
fetching that word in to the cpuinfo->x86_capability[] array.
Add it to the disabled-features mask when its config option is
off. Even though we are not using it here, we also extend the
REQUIRED_MASK_BIT_SET() macro to keep it mirroring the
DISABLED_MASK_BIT_SET() version.
This means that in almost all code, you should use:
cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_PKU)
and *not* the CONFIG option.

Move them to a separate header and have the following
dependency:
x86/cpufeatures.h <- x86/processor.h <- x86/cpufeature.h
This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not
include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.
