The intention was to show that the I, M, and A extensions are actually
present on this machine, not that the other probe keys exist. Usermode
is allowed to query any hwprobe key, they just get back the key set to
-1 and value set to 0 on unknown keys. We "cheated" a bit for
determining I, M, and A exist since they're already prerequisites of
Linux, which is why there's no conditional there.
