For that please sort it and add a comment stating that the leaf should be kept sorted ontop of it. And then you do something like this: u32 get_scattered_cpuid_leaf(unsigned int level, unsigned int sub_leaf, enum cpuid_regs reg) { u32 cpuid_val = 0; for (cb = cpuid_bits; cb->feature; cb++) { if (level < cb->level) continue; if (level > cb->level) break; if (cb->reg == reg && sub_leaf == cb->sub_leaf) { if (cpu_has(cb->feature)) cpuid_val |= BIT(cb->bit); } } return cpuid_val; } Completely untested, of course. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
