That would require building and running mkcpustr, which doesn't happen
when !CONFIG_X86_FEATURE_NAMES. (And it'd require adding ifdefs to
mkcpustr instead, which seems counterproductive.)

However, in exploring this, I ran into some build issues with v2 on a
clean build; I'll send out v3 shortly with fixes to those.
