Sounds like I need to school that "suggestor" about clearcpuid. :) For example, when doing this: 1625c833db93 ("x86/cpu: Allow feature bit names from /proc/cpuinfo in clearcpuid=") I even managed to prevent the kernel from booting. So clearcpuid= is definitely not for general consumption. So as said, please remove it from your whole patchset's text.
