[PATCH 159/208] x86/fpu, crypto x86/serpent_avx: Simplify the serpent_init() xfeature checks

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 13:55:36 EST


Use the new 'cpu_has_xfeatures()' function to query AVX CPU support.

This has the following advantages to the driver:

- Decouples the driver from FPU internals: it's now only using <asm/fpu/api.h>.

- Removes detection complexity from the driver, no more raw XGETBV instruction

- Shrinks the code a bit.

- Standardizes feature name error message printouts across drivers

There are also advantages to the x86 FPU code: once all drivers
are decoupled from internals we can move them out of common
headers and we'll also be able to remove xcr.h.
