What complexity? The init_scattered_cpuid_features() version is a
trivial patch in comparison to the current version.

Sure, except they don't get added or we don't need them or whatever, and
we end up with only a small number of bits actually being used.
I don't mind moving them to x86_capability later, when a high percentage
of the respective leaf is actually being used but not for a couple of
bits. That's just waste.

0.1% here, 0.1% there, the creeping bloat thing.
And again, the init_scattered_cpuid_features() hunk is much smaller.
