Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64s: dt_cpu_ftrs boot time setup option

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 21:24:41 +1000

Provide a dt_cpu_ftrs= cmdline option to disable the dt_cpu_ftrs CPU
feature discovery, and fall back to the "cputable" based version.

Also allow control of advertising unknown features to userspace and
with this parameter, and remove the clunky CONFIG option.
