This patchkit allows automatic udev loading of drivers based on x86
CPUID models and feature ids.

This version addresses the review feedback, except:
- no multi match to keep things simple
- only matches boot cpu (also to make it simple)

I changed all the tables to const and did some other improvements.

More testing still appreciated, especially in a real distribution.
