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.

Thanks for fixing that up. The patch is more yours than mine now :P

Well that's not the right number of nots. Better make it:

+			known: Do not pass through unknown features to guests
