Thanks!

I assume checking must be done at run time via something like,
if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_PURR))

Also assume that it would make sense to do this determination at
initialization/boot time and put the result in the statistic data
structure.  In this way we would know it is in the same cache line
we are updating with other stats.  Or, should cur_cpu_spec->cpu_features
be 'sufficiently hot' to make this a non-issue?
