This code is not performance critical.

I think I sent folks off on a wild goose chase when I asked that we make
an effort to optimize code that does:

	if (some_hyperv_check())
		foo();

	if (some_amd_feature_check())
		bar();

with checks that will actually compile away when Hyper-V or
some_amd_feature() is disabled.  That's less about performance and just
about good hygiene.  I *wanted* to see
cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE...) checks.

Someone suggested using static calls, and off we went...

Could we please just use cpu_feature_enabled()?
