1b6b7c9ff3 x86, cpufeature: Remove stray %s, add -w to mkcapflags.pl
There was a stray %s left from testing, remove it.

Add -w to the #! line (which is parsed by Perl even if the Perl
interpreter is invoked explicitly on the command line) to catch these
kinds of errors in the future.

55f6cb9d0b x86, cpufeature: Catch duplicate CPU feature strings
We had a case of duplicate CPU feature strings, a user space ABI
violation, for almost two years.  Make it a build error so that
doesn't happen again.

7414aa41a6 x86: generate names for /proc/cpuinfo from <asm/cpufeature.h>
We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its
predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in
/proc/cpuinfo.  This patch generates the latter from the former.

It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by
making that require a separate action it should at least be less
likely to happen.

It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are
gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace
interface and must remain constant.)
