Unify the CPU features vectors between i386 and x86-64
Unify the handling of the CPU features vectors between i386 and x86-64. This also adopts the collapsing of features which are required at compile-time into constant tests from x86-64 to i386. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
