[PATCH v1 0/3] x86/cpufeatures: Automatically generate required and disabled feature masks

[Xin Li (Intel)]

When a CPU feature is not configured, e.g., CONFIG_X86_FRED=n, in a
build config, its feature disable flag, e.g. DISABLE_FRED, needs to
be defined and added to a specific disabled CPU features mask in
<asm/disabled-features.h>, as the following commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?h=x86/fred&id=e554a8ca49d6d6d782f546ae4d7f036946e7dd87

This patch set adds an awk script to automatically generate a header
with required and disabled CPU features masks based on build config.
