Subject: [PATCH v3 03/14] x86/cpufeatures: add X86_FEATURE_WORKLOAD_CLASS feature bit

From: Perry Yuan <perry.yuan@....com>

Add new feature bit that indicates support for workload based
heuristic feedback to OS for scheduling decisions.
When the bit set, threads are classified during runtime into
enumerated classes. The classes represent thread performance/power
characteristics that may benefit from special scheduling behaviors.
