The change itself is fine, but please provide a summary in the commit 
message of what Intel LAM is and what these changes enable.

Thanks,
Siddhesh

I checked it with the updated commit message:

Add Intel Linear Address Masking (LAM) support to <sys/platform/x86.h>.
HAS_CPU_FEATURE (LAM) can be used to detect if LAM is enabled in CPU.

LAM modifies the checking that is applied to 64-bit linear addresses,
allowing software to use of the untranslated address bits for metadata.
