[PATCH] powerpc: Use the ibm,pa-features property if available
Forthcoming IBM machines will have a "ibm,pa-features" property on CPU nodes, that contains bits indicating which optional architecture features are implemented by the CPU. This adds code to use the property, if present, to update our CPU feature bitmaps. Note that this means we can both set and clear feature bits based on what the firmware tells us. This is based on a patch by Will Schmidt <willschm@us.ibm.com>. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

+/*
+ * ibm,pa-features is a per-cpu property that contains a string of
+ * attribute descriptors, each of which has a 2 byte header plus up
+ * to 254 bytes worth of processor attribute bits. First header
+ * byte specifies the number of bytes following the header.
+ * Second header byte is an "attribute-specifier" type, of which
+ * zero is the only currently-defined value.
+ * Implementation: Pass in the byte and bit offset for the feature
+ * that we are interested in. The function will return -1 if the
+ * pa-features property is missing, or a 1/0 to indicate if the feature
+ * is supported/not supported. Note that the bit numbers are
+ * big-endian to match the definition in PAPR.
