I was thinking that parsers would be confused by seeing the same extension
multiple times, but I have no problem with it if folks disagree.

Well, from an ISA string perspective (i.e. what's shown in /proc/cpuinfo), only
including the latest version _does_ give you the complete list, because Ss1p11
and Ss1p12 aren't different extensions. I'm only expanding them to different
flags inside the kernel so we can avoid storing the version number as an integer
and doing numeric comparisons at each usage site.

So /proc/cpuinfo parsers wouldn't need to know about implication, since that's a
kernel implementation detail. They just need to know how to parse the version
number from an ISA string. And I would expect them to be able to do that anyway.

There would only be backward-compatibility concerns if parsers are doing a
string match on the whole "ss1p12", which I would consider wrong to start with.

Samuel
