Aye. With the way they do it, if !CONFIG_..._SSQOSID, DCE should
remove the function call entirely & the has_extension_[un]likely() stuff
will give you your nop for kernels with CONFIG_..._SSQOSID but no
hardware support.

I think it looks "nicer"/more obvious if you copy what the fpu/vector
stuff does /shrug
