In preparation for runtime calculation of XSAVE offsets cache the feature
flags for each XSTATE component during feature enumeration via CPUID(0xD).
EDX has two relevant bits:
0 Supervisor component
1 Feature storage must be 64 byte aligned
These bits are currently only evaluated during init, but the alignment bit
must be cached to make runtime calculation of XSAVE offsets efficient.
Cache the full EDX content and use it for the existing alignment and
supervisor checks.

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.
