[PATCH] i386 add Intel BTS cpufeature bit and detection (take 2)

[Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>]

Andi,

Here is a small patch for i386 which adds a cpufeature flag and
detection code for Intel's Branch Trace Store (BTS) feature. This
feature can be found on Intel P4 and Core 2 processors among others.
It can also be used by perfmon.

The patch is relative to 2.6.19-rc5-git7 + x86_64-2.6.19-rc5-git7-061116-2

changelog:
	- add CPU_FEATURE_BTS
	- add Branch Trace Store detection
