This link is to the patch you're replying to, not anything from me.
I commented on a bunch of stuff in v4, but not this patch - generally I
ignore hwprobe to be honest...

I wanna do some cleanup stuff w/ Clements series applied, if that's what
you were talking about, but I don't see much point starting that until
the cpufeature stuff has calmed down - Charlie's and Clement's series
really need to be in for-next for it to be worth doing.
