The cache value make no sense on this.

There is no need to check "entry->eax >= 0x1f" before "setting
entry->eax = 0x1f" if and only if cpuid_ecx(0x1f) meets requirements.

An increasing manner helps to overwrite this value on demand in a flat
code flow (easy to understand and maintain) not an if-else_if-else flow.
