[RFC PATCH 2/3] x86: new API for modifying CPU feature flags

[Chuck Ebbert]

 x86: new API for modifying CPU feature flags

Use an API for setting/clearing CPU features, so the
process can be debugged.

Adds:
set_cpu_feature()
clear_cpu_feature()
clear_all_cpu_features()

Todo:
mask_boot_cpu_features()
set_cpu_feature_word()
more?

(Hardcoded printk for now, should be dprintk.)
