That'll get written into a temporary page by the /proc/cpuinfo handler, so
it might just be a use-uninitialised.

I was compiling a kernel at the time, so it could have come from the kernel source.

It's relatively common for that big inode LRU walk to wander off in the
wrong direction and to start operating on random memory.

IOW: don't know. Something scribbled on memory somewhere.

Yep, that was as far as I got...
