I find it would be useful to have the list of CPU features available via a sysctl. Currently, he only ways to get this information are to have linprocfs mounted, or parse dmesg.boot (if it exists). Attached are patches to add hw.features and hw.features2 sysctls for i386 and amd64 (where a list of CPU features is applicable). The results are identical to the Features and Features2 strings from dmesg: hw.features2: 0x41d<SSE3,RSVD2,MON,DS_CPL,CNXT-ID> hw.features: 0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE> Comments?
