# HG changeset patch
# User Rob Hoes <rob.hoes@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add CPUID features whitelisting foor Pool.join.

This allows the user to exclude CPUID features from the Pool.join checks by 
setting a mask in Pool.other_config:cpuid_feature_mask. When comparing the 
CPUID features of the pool and the joining host for equality, this mask is 
applied before the comparison. The format is the same as the format of the 
feature field in Host.cpu_info. The default is 
"ffffff7f-ffffffff-ffffffff-ffffffff", which defines the EST feature, bit 7 of 
the base ecx flags, as "don't care".
