I actually saw that and think about addressing it but AFAICT, this
should be handled by the machine firmware passing the isa string to the
kernel (ie, it should be valid). In the case of QEMU, it takes care of
setting the extension that are required by this extension itself.

If we consider to have potentially broken isa string (ie extensions
dependencies not correctly handled), then we'll need some way to
validate this within the kernel.
