[PATCH 1/6] x86/cpufeature: add cpu feature bit for LKGS

[Xin Li]

From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

Add the CPU feature bit for LKGS (Load "Kernel" GS).

LKGS instruction is introduced with Intel FRED (flexible return and
event delivery) specificaton
https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/678938.

LKGS behaves like the MOV to GS instruction except that it loads
the base address into the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR instead of the
GS segment’s descriptor cache, which is exactly what Linux kernel
does to load a user level GS base.  Thus, with LKGS, there is no
need to SWAPGS away from the kernel GS base.
