These two lines are wrong, remove them.

Other than that, it's correct.
That being said, the claim that ECX ought to be zeroed on a
non-subleaf-equipped CPUID leaf is spurious, in my opinion. That being
said, it also doesn't do any harm and might avoid problems in the
opposite direction, e.g. someone thinking that leaf 7 doesn't have
subleaves.
It might also be better to have something like:
#define SAVE_EBX(x) ".ifnc %%ebx," x "; movl %%ebx," x "; .endif"
#define SWAP_EBX(x) ".ifnc %%ebx," x "; xchgl %%ebx," x "; .endif"
... but if it is only used once it might just be more confusion.
