Subject: [PATCH v6 04/12] x86/alternative: support not-feature

Add support for alternative patching for the case a feature is not
present on the current cpu.

For users of ALTERNATIVE() and friends an inverted feature is specified
by applying the ALT_NOT() macro to it, e.g.:

ALTERNATIVE(old, new, ALT_NOT(feature))

Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

V5:
- split off from next patch
- reworked to use flag byte (Boris Petkov)
V6:
- rework again to not use flag byte (Boris Petkov)
