I guess I would say yes to defining new macros, eg.

+#define CPU_FTRS_POWER11	CPU_FTRS_POWER10

That is good to have because someone will eventually grep for
CPU_FTRS_POWER11 and expect to find it.

On the other hand global functions that do nothing but call the power10
version are not the best, because they will (slightly) bloat the binary
for no real gain.
