Done.  That did look weird, no idea why I decided to hardcode only this one.

I considered doing exactly that.  IIRC, I opted not to because at this
point in the series, the initial call to do_host_cpuid() is something like
halfway down the massive __do_cpuid_func(), and eliminating the early check
didn't feel quite right, e.g. there is a fair amount of unnecessary code
that runs before hitting the first do_host_cpuid().

What if I add a patch towards the end of the series to move this check into
__do_cpuid_func_emulated(), i.e. after __do_cpuid_func() has been trimmed
down to size and the early check really is superfluous.
