The patch is probably OK, but the changelog is insufficient. Could you
please read through:
Documentation/arch/x86/cpuinfo.rst
and use that structure to construct a justification for why this feature
is needed?
I'd also just appreciate a blurb on why you care. Why did you bother to
send this patch?
