Because we never had much reason to, in the past.

You can always extend the kernel to actually generate a modalias in the
CPU devices in sysfs with the cpuid, and add the relevant patterns to
drivers like coretemp.  If you do, make it extensible like the ones used
for the BIOS DMI information, so that we can add any relevant future
feature bits.
