Linux defined feature bits X86_FEATURE_P3 and X86_FEATURE_P4 are not
used anywhere. Commit f31d731 ("x86: use X86_FEATURE_NOPL in
alternatives") got rid of the last usage in 2008. Remove the related
mappings and code.
Just like all X86_FEATURE bits, the raw bit numbers can be exposed to
userspace via MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). There is a very small theoretical
chance of userspace getting confused if these bits got reassigned and
changed logical meaning. But these bits were never used for a device
table, so it's highly unlikely this will ever happen in practice.
