[RFC PATCH v2 17/34] x86/cpufeatures: Add a CPU feature bit for MSR immediate form instructions

["Xin Li (Intel)" <xin@xxxxxxxxx>]

The immediate form of MSR access instructions are primarily motivated
by performance, not code size: by having the MSR number in an immediate,
it is available *much* earlier in the pipeline, which allows the
hardware much more leeway about how a particular MSR is handled.

Use a scattered CPU feature bit for MSR immediate form instructions.
