    x86/fpu, crypto x86/sha1_ssse3: Simplify the sha1_ssse3_mod_init() xfeature checks · d1e50966

    Use the new 'cpu_has_xfeatures()' function to query AVX CPU support.
    
    This has the following advantages to the driver:
    
     - Decouples the driver from FPU internals: it's now only using <asm/fpu/api.h>.
    
     - Removes detection complexity from the driver, no more raw XGETBV instruction
    
     - Shrinks the code a bit.
    
     - Standardizes feature name error message printouts across drivers
    
    There are also advantages to the x86 FPU code: once all drivers
    are decoupled from internals we can move them out of common
    headers and we'll also be able to remove xcr.h.
