Wire up the generic support for exposing CPU feature bits via the
modalias in /sys/device/system/cpu. This allows udev to automatically
load modules for things like crypto algorithms that are implemented
using optional instructions.

Russell,

do you have any concerns regarding this patch? If not, I will drop it
into the patch system.
It's still something I need to look at... I've been offline last week,
and sort-of offline the previous week, so I'm catching up.
Hi Russell,

Any thoughts yet?
None, and the patch is well buried now that it'll take me a while to
find... back in mid-October?  Yea, I'll have to drop everything and
go digging through my mailboxes to find it... and I'm just catching
up (again) after a week and a bit's time offline - yep, it's wonderful
timing.  Sorry, no time to look at it right now, you're not the only
one wanting my attention at the moment.

Please try again in about a week's time - don't leave it a few months,
and please include the patch.
