2013-10-13	x86, boot: Rename get_flags() and check_flags() to *_cpuflags()	H. Peter Anvin
	When a function is used in more than one file it may not be possible to immediately tell from context what the intended meaning is. As such, it is more important that the naming be self-evident. Thus, change get_flags() to get_cpuflags(). For consistency, change check_flags() to check_cpuflags() even though it is only used in cpucheck.c.

2013-10-13	x86, boot: Move CPU flags out of cpucheck	Kees Cook
	Refactor the CPU flags handling out of the cpucheck routines so that they can be reused by the future ASLR routines (in order to detect CPU features like RDRAND and RDTSC). This reworks has_eflag() and has_fpu() to be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit, and refactors the calls to cpuid to make them PIC-safe on 32-bit.
