commit 065515982ebd9360878b5dc480a1fcb903add55d
Author: Patrick Rudolph <siro(a)das-labor.org>

libpayload: Enable SSE and FPU when present
Use cpuid feature bits to detect and enable FPU and
SSE instructions.
Allows to use SSE and floating point in payloads without digging to
much into x86 assembly code.
Required for x86 SSE memcpy.
