Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] kernel: add new infrastructure for platform_has() support

In another patch series [1] the need has come up to have support for
a generic feature flag infrastructure.

This patch series is introducing that infrastructure and adds the first
use case.

I have decided to use a similar interface as the already known x86
cpu_has() function. As the new infrastructure is meant to be usable for
general and arch-specific feature flags, the flags are being spread
between a general bitmap and an arch specific one.

The bitmaps start all being zero, single features can be set or reset
at any time by using the related platform_[re]set_feature() functions.

The platform_has() function is using a simple test_bit() call for now,
further optimization might be added when needed.
