Subject: [PATCH 0/4 -v2] x86: update AMD CPUID bits

Changes from v1:
 - pull SSE5^WXOP bit from KVM features to patch 1
 - add AES and F16C to list of propagated features
 - add kvm@...r to CC  ;-) 

Recently the public AMD CPUID specification
http://support.amd.com/us/Processor_TechDocs/25481.pdf
has been updated and revealed new CPUID flag feature names.
The following patches introduce them to the kernel to properly
display them in /proc/cpuinfo and allows KVM guests to use them.
Note: One bit has been renamed, so I propose patch 1/4 for inclusion
in the stable series.

Please apply!

Regards,
Andre.
