This changelog isn't telling us very much.  *Why* is this a good change?

Logically, this is saying that there are non-CENTAUR or non-family-6
CPUs that set X86_FEATURE_PHE, but don't support X86_FEATURE_PHE.  Is
that the case?

The one Intel use of X86_MATCH_VENDOR_FAM_FEATURE() also looks a bit
suspect, btw.
