Do we have a standard way of coding for a feature that depends on multiple
other features? For this case the system needs to both suport the ENQCMD
instruction, and also have kernel code that programs the IOMMU.

And/or guidance on when to use each of the very somewhat simlar looking
boot_cpu_has()
static_cpu_has()
IS_ENABLED()
cpu_feature_enabled()
options?
