IMO this probably is better than using QFLAG_APPLY_ONCE, etc.

But this patch has the mechanical changes related to QFLAG_APPLY_ONCE,
which I think are useful but not very interesting and not a fix for
something that's broken, mixed together with the *important* change
that actually fixes a problem on Alderlake.

Those two things need to be separate patches.  A patch that fixes a
problem should be as small as possible so it's easy to understand and
backport.

The subject line of this patch doesn't say anything at all about
Alderlake.  Splitting into two patches will make the subject lines
more useful.
