Subject: x86: A fast way to check capabilities of the current cpu


Subject: x86: A fast way to check capabilities of the current cpu

Add this_cpu_has() which determines if the current cpu has a certain
ability using a segment prefix and a bit test operation.

For that we need to add bit operations to x86s percpu.h.

Many uses of cpu_has use a pointer passed to a function to determine
the current flags. That is no longer necessary after this patch.

However, this patch only converts the straightforward cases where
cpu_has is used with this_cpu_ptr. The rest is work for later.
