This is unexpected to me. kselftest.h intends to and still does define
__cpuid_count() exactly the same as gcc does (in gcc/config/i386/cpuid.h):


 255 #define __cpuid_count(level, count, a, b, c, d)                         \
 256   __asm__ __volatile__ ("cpuid\n\t"                                     \
 257                         : "=a" (a), "=b" (b), "=c" (c), "=d" (d)        \
 258                         : "0" (level), "2" (count))
