If you do a little bit of git archeology:

$ git annotate arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h

after a while, you'll see that this was added in:

1e61f78baf89 ("x86/cpufeature: Make sure DISABLED/REQUIRED macros are updated")

and then you could Cc Dave and ask what he was thinking then?

Leaving in the rest for reference.

Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.
