mainlining shenanigans
1625c833db
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:
[ ... ] Clearing CPUID bits: de 13:24 smca (unknown: succory) bmi1 3dnow

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
