Do we need such clearing here? I don't think that's ever called again
for this feature/reg.

I wonder whether we could call, after init_cpu_ftr_reg(), a new function
similar to update_cpu_ftr_reg() that takes a mask and value and leave
init_cpu_ftr_reg() unchanged. The only advantage would be if we can get
rid of the reg->override* fields. Anyway, I need to read the rest of the
series to see whether it's possible. Otherwise this patch looks fine.
