Just like symbol 'mmu_feature_keys'[1], 'cpu_feature_keys' was referenced
indirectly by many inline functions; any GPL-incompatible modules using such
a function will be potentially broken due to 'cpu_feature_keys' being
exported as GPL-only.

For example it still breaks ZFS, see

External modules are always on their own, sorry.  Especially ones that
are not released under the GPL.

good luck!
