Add X86_CR4_FRED macro for the FRED bit in %cr4. This bit should be a
pinned bit, not to be changed after initialization.

That type cast is required because:

+#define X86_CR4_FRED		_BITULL(X86_CR4_FRED_BIT)

Bah. Fred is 64 bit only. So why defining this as 1ULL << 32
unconditionally and stripping the bit off on 32bit via the type cast?

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
#define X86_CR4_FRED		_BITUL(X86_CR4_FRED_BIT)
#else
#define X86_CR4_FRED		0
#endif

would be too obvious, right?

Thanks,

Technically no bit "must" be set in the fixed bit variable, but it would 
obviously be insane not to. But it makes it a "should", both in 
dictionary and RFC 2119 definitions.

Incidentally, I strongly advice everyone to use the RFC 2119 definitions 
of technical requirement terms when possible.

It also adds an #ifdef mess to avoid a simple typecast. Is that the 
right tradeoff?

I'm not saying it is or it isn't, it is an open question.
