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 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/14545 [1]: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/20220329085709.4132729-1-haokexin@gmail.com/
External modules are always on their own, sorry. Especially ones that are not released under the GPL. good luck! greg k-h
