That means nothing, you know that, right? :)

There's a big difference between expectation and it actually happening
and besides, the longterm plan with all those feature words which are
scattered, is to propagate them to proper ->x86_capability[] words once
the number of feature bits used is gradually growing.

Also,...

... you didn't do the first-8-bits-need-to-match-the-CPUID-leaf for KVM
thing then, you're doing now. Which would make word 8 half-hard-coded
and the other half Linux-defined.

Which makes a separate leaf look much better now. :)

Thx.
