That changelog needs a rewrite. See patch 1/4

Please do not add more cpu_has macros. There is nothing wrong to write
boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_ART) in the code.

#define ART_CPUID_LEAF         0x15
#define ART_MIN_DENOMINATOR    2

Why is the minimum denominator 2? That wants a comment.

Both want to be read_mostly

No parentheses around one liners please.

Is it really worth do do this optimization? And if we do it we
shouldn't special case it for 2. You can check at ART detection time
whether the denominator is a power of two and have a flag which
selects a div/mod base or a shift based conversion.
