Hmm, the only way the output would be different is in a really contrived
scenario where userspace doesn't provide an entry for the max basic leaf.

The !entry path can only be reached with "orig_function != function" if
orig_function is out of range and there is no entry for the max basic leaf.
The adjustments for 0xb/0x1f require the max basic leaf to be 0xb or 0x1f,
and to take effect with !entry would require there to be a CPUID.max.1 but
not a CPUID.max.0.  That'd be a violation of Intel's SDM, i.e. it's bogus
userspace input and IMO can be ignored.
