For CPU-feature-specific code that touches performance-critical paths,
introduce a static patching version of [boot_]cpu_has(). This is run
at alternatives time and is therefore not appropriate for most
initialization code, but on the other hand initialization code is
generally not performance critical.
On gcc 4.5+ this uses the new "asm goto" feature.
