Oh, that's unfortunate.

It might help to include a bit more about the problem in the log. The
piece that confused me at first was that X86_FEATURE_OSXSAVE maps to a
CPUID bit that will change once CR4.OSXSAVE is set. So since the CPUID
bits are read before CR4.OSXSAVE is set, it stores the original unset
value of the bit.

I'd also put a comment here to explain why this is done manually. I'll
toss something out in case it's useful:
	/*
	 * CPUID bit for X86_FEATURE_OSXSAVE value will change once 
	 * CR4.OSXSAVE is set, so update it manually.
