so before you guys paint the bikeshed all kinds of colors :), Tom (CCed)
is digging out the official name. (If it is even uglier, we might keep
on bikeshedding...).

Once you have that, add the "" after the comment - like
X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_USER, for example, so that it doesn't show in
/proc/cpuinfo as luserspace doesn't care about hw coherency between enc
memory.

Thx.
