Not really a standard one.

We could setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_ENQCMD) during boot if we see
that CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_SVM=n or if we don't have a detected IOMMU.
That would at least get static value patching which would make some of
the feature checks very cheap.

That means we can't use ENQCMD at all in the kernel, though.  Is that an
issue?  Is the CPU feature truly dependent on IOMMU_SVM?

cpu_feature_enabled() is by go-to for checking X86_FEATUREs.  It has
compile-time checking along with static checking.

If you use cpu_feature_enabled(), and we added:

#ifdef CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_SVM
# define DISABLE_ENQCMD         0
#else
# define DISABLE_ENQCMD           (1 << (X86_FEATURE_ENQCMD & <bitval>))
#endif

to arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h, then we could check only
X86_FEATURE_ENQCMD, and we'd get that IS_ENABLED() check for "free".
