Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Dave Hansen:
 "The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation
  (LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the
  upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually
  recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not
  even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address
  space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense.

  This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still
  some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and
  vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those
  features is compiled in (which is almost always the case).

  There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an
  under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf
  so more feature can be packed in there.

  Summary:

   - Enable Linear Address Space Separation (LASS)

   - Change X86_FEATURE leaf 17 from an AMD leaf to Linux-defined"
