I mean how much bigger does

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/capflags.c

get and, as a result, bzImage?

And what for if there's a way already which works?

I'm sure you know we have bigger fish to fry. So how about we concentrate on
Ahmed's set instead of poking on this?

Once that is reviewed and massaged and discussed and applied and tested and
we're all happy, we can spend more energy on this if still and really needed.

Thx.
