Having separate patches for adding the X86_FEATURE bits
is fine (provides space in the commit log to document what each
is for). In this case it also preserves the "Author" of each.

But you should combine patches 3 & 4 into a single patch. Making
two patches to each add one bit to the KVM cpuid code just looks
like you are trying to inflate your patch count.
