Subject: [PATCH 1/6] x86/cpu: Allow feature bit names from /proc/cpuinfo in clearcpuid=

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Having to give the X86_FEATURE array indices in order to disable a
feature bit for testing is not really user-friendly. So accept the
feature bit names too.

Some feature bits don't have names so there the array indices are still
accepted, of course.

Clearing CPUID flags is not something which should be done in production
so taint the kernel too.

An exemplary cmdline would then be something like:

clearcpuid=de,440,smca,succory,bmi1,3dnow ("succory" is wrong on
purpose).

and it says:

[    0.000000] Clearing CPUID bits: de 13:24 smca bmi1 3dnow
