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. Since it is non-trivial to transparantly support both HWCAP and HWCAP2 capabilities in the cpu_feature() macro (which allows a module's hwcap dependency and init routine to be declared using a single invocation of module_cpu_feature_match()), support only HWCAP2 for now, which covers the capabilities that are most likely to be useful in this manner. Module dependencies on HWCAP will need to be declared explicitly via a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(cpu, ...) declaration.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
