Yeah, I discovered that I need to do the X86_FEATURE integration within
the CPUID model before touching the CPUID(0x15) call sites.

Quoting the cover:

  State of Affairs: By now, all CPUID leaves which do not interact with
  the X86_FEATURE mechanism(s) has been transformed to the CPUID model.
  Remaining leaves have dependencies on X86_FEATURE.

  For example, some callsites _directly_ enumerate CPUID(0x15)
  [ART_CPUID_LEAF / CPUID_LEAF_TSC] even though that leaf has important
  dependencies on X86_FEATURE_ART and its tsc_async_resets flag.

  The CPUID parser work will not propagate such call sites brokedness and
  will integrate the X86_FEATURE infrastructure within it first.

As I mentioned in the Bhyve thread, this shall also include a directed
acyclic graph of dependencies for the X86_FEATURE flags themselves:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/aKL0WlA4wIU8l9RT@lx-t490

v5 should cover this.

Thanks!
