Detection of the feature set is simple. A list of processors can be found in
arch/ppc/kernel/cputable.c. The PVR register is masked and compared with each
value in the list. If a match is found, the cpu_features of cur_cpu_spec is
assigned to the feature bitmask for this processor and a __setup_cpu function
is called.

C code may test 'cur_cpu_spec[smp_processor_id()]->cpu_features' for a
particular feature bit. This is done in quite a few places, for example

The END_FTR_SECTION macros are implemented by storing information about this

nop's from each BEGIN_FTR_SECTION to END_FTR_SECTION.
