+/* Both X86_ISA_CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P and X86_ISA_CPU_FEATURES_ARCH_P
+   macros are wrappers for the the respective
+   CPU_FEATURE{S}_{USABLE|ARCH}_P runtime checks.  They differ in two
+   ways.
+
+    1.  The USABLE_P version is evaluated to true when the feature
+        is enabled.
+
+    2.  The ARCH_P version has a third argument `not`.  The `not`
+        argument can either be '!' or empty.  If the feature is
+        enabled above an ISA level, the third argument should be empty
+        and the expression is evaluated to true when the feature is
+        enabled.  If the feature is disabled above an ISA level, the
+        third argument should be `!` and the expression is evaluated
+        to true when the feature is disabled.
+
+    i.e
+
+    X86_ISA_CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P(p, FEATURE):
+        A) default value of feature <= MINIMUM_X86_ISA_LEVEL   -> True
+        B) runtime bit is set                                  -> True
+
+    X86_ISA_CPU_FEATURE_ARCH_P(p, FEATURE, <empty>):
+        A) default value of feature <= MINIMUM_X86_ISA_LEVEL   -> True
+        B) runtime bit is set                                  -> True
+
+    X86_ISA_CPU_FEATURE_ARCH_P(p, FEATURE, !):
+        A) default value of feature <= MINIMUM_X86_ISA_LEVEL   -> True
+        B) runtime bit is NOT set                              -> True
+
+    All cases not listed will evaluate to false.
+
+    Only the A) cases will constantly evaluate.
