There was at one point, but there was a suggestion to remove in
favor
of clearcpuid. I can add it back.

Sounds like I need to school that "suggestor" about clearcpuid. :)

For example, when doing this:

  1625c833db93 ("x86/cpu: Allow feature bit names from /proc/cpuinfo
in clearcpuid=")

I even managed to prevent the kernel from booting. So clearcpuid= is
definitely not for general consumption.

So as said, please remove it from your whole patchset's text.

Will do, thanks.
