Hi Yury,

I just wanted to report that the warning fires when doing
'cat /proc/cpuinfo' on at least x86 and riscv. I don't think
those are false positives. I'm guessing a patch should be
something like the following diff. If you haven't already
addressed this and I'm not off in left field, then I guess
we should integrate it into your series.

Thanks,
drew
