Detection of the feature set is simple. A list of processors can be found in
arch/ppc/kernel/cputable.c. The PVR register is masked and compared with each
value in the list. If a match is found, the cpu_features of cur_cpu_spec is

C code may test 'cur_cpu_spec[smp_processor_id()]->cpu_features' for a
particular feature bit. This is done in quite a few places, for example
