cpuid_deps is only processed by do_clear_cpu_cap(), so unless there's an explicit
"clear" action, the dependencies will not be updated.  It kinda makes sense since
hardware-based features shouldn't end up with scenarios where a dependent feature
exists but the base feature does not (barring bad KVM setups :-) ).

That said, this seems like a bug waiting to happen, and unless I'm missing something
it's quite straightforward to process all dependencies during setup.  Time to find
out if Boris and co. agree :-)
