It will result in people complaining to us about it.

It would be more appropriate to not create the attribute the first place
if it is not supported. Sure, that is a bit more code, but it isn't that bad.
You can simply return -ENODEV for unsupported CPUs from the probe function.

The comment does not match the code. The comment talks about accepting models
F15h, models 0x0-0xF, but the code rejects anything but F15h model 0x0.
Now it may well be that the above describes identifies all F15h and F16h CPUs,
but this is not clear from the comment. It rather looks as if anything but F15h,
model 0x0 is rejected, including all F16h CPUs. But then why accept F16h CPUs
in the first place ?
