Subject: [PATCH 2/5] x86/alternatives: Catch late X86_FEATURE modifiers

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@...en8.de>

After alternatives have been patched, changes to the X86_FEATURE flags
won't take effect and could potentially even be wrong.

Warn about it.

This is something which has been long overdue.
