It would be nice to factor out the above so that it's not repated for
cpu_has() and this_cpu_has().

bit can go beyond unsigned, so 1 << bit doesn't work. Why not just
start with a simple wrapper? ie. sth like

#define this_cpu_has(bit) cpu_has(__this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_info), bit)

We can later optimize in a separate patch along the line of...

#define this_cpu_has(bit) ({ \
__builtin_constant_p(bit) ? \
(cpu_required_bit_test(bit) || \
this_cpu_read(cpu_info.x86_capability + ((bit) >> 5)) & \
(1 << ((bit) & 31))) : \
cpu_has(__this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_info), bit); \
})

Thanks.
