It was to catch if the software user shadow stack feature gets disabled
at boot with the "clearcpuid" command. Is there a better way to do
this?

This only gets called by kexec way after boot, as kexec is prepping to
transition to the new kernel. Do we want to be clearing feature bits at
that time?

Sure, sorry about that. I'll target tip for the next version.
