Rework cpufeature implementation to allow for various cpu feature indications, which is not only limited to hwcap bits. This is achieved by adding a sequential list of cpu feature numbers, where each of them is mapped to an entry which indicates what this number is about. Each entry contains a type member, which indicates what feature name space to look into (e.g. hwcap, or cpu facility). If wanted this allows also to automatically load modules only in e.g. z/VM configurations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
