x86/fpu/xstate: Introduce xfeature order table and accessor macro
The kernel has largely assumed that higher xstate component numbers correspond to later offsets in the buffer. However, this assumption no longer holds for the non-compacted format, where a newer state component may have a lower offset. When iterating over xstate components in offset order, using the feature number as an index may be misleading. At the same time, the CPU exposes each component’s size and offset based on its feature number, making it a key for state information. To provide flexibility in handling xstate ordering, introduce a mapping table: feature order -> feature number. The table is dynamically populated based on the CPU-exposed features and is sorted in offset order at boot time. Additionally, add an accessor macro to facilitate sequential traversal of xstate components based on their actual buffer positions, given a feature bitmask. This accessor macro will be particularly useful for computing custom non-compacted format sizes and iterating over xstate offsets in non-compacted buffers.
