Eduardo,
  I am running a 4.9.162 virtual machine (very intentionally, the
drivers I need got broken in 4.11) inside of a 5.1.2 host.

X86_FEATURE_CPUID is certainly defined in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/capflags.c but nothing much seems to be done with
it.

The whole reason this came up is I was running 'perf top' on the
virtual host and it was spending the most kernel time calling cpuid(),
which seemed wrong.
