This is particularly something we want to avoid with this patch. We want to make sure that we have the up-to-date status of the disability right when it happens. i.e, a CPU without FP/SIMD is brought up. With SYSTEM_FEATURE you have to wait until we bring all the CPUs up. Also, for HAS_FPSIMD, you must wait until all the CPUs are up, unlike the negated capability. > >> .min_field_value = 0, > > (Does .min_field_value == 0 make sense, or is it even used?
