[PATCH 2/2] x86: always build with X86_FEATURE_NAMES functionality

From: Lukas Bulwahn
Date: Wed May 10 2023 - 02:57:44 EST


While discussing to change the visibility of X86_FEATURE_NAMES (see Link)
in order to remove CONFIG_EMBEDDED, Boris suggested to simply make the
X86_FEATURE_NAMES functionality unconditional.

As the need for really tiny kernel images has gone away and kernel images
with !X86_FEATURE_NAMES is hardly tested, remove this config and the whole
ifdeffery in the source code.

If you don't know what to do here, say N.

- bool
- default y
- help
- This option compiles in a table of x86 feature bits and corresponding
- names. This is required to support /proc/cpuinfo and a few kernel
- messages. You can disable this to save space, at the expense of
- making those few kernel messages show numeric feature bits instead.
