I'm a bit puzzled about the "unused" slots. You're adding them
only in some places. What makes them "look like omissions"?
Mainly because single bits are omitted, presumably because they do not want to
pollute the symbol space with as yet unused features, just as they do not output
all features as cpuinfo flags, until it indicates something about the build
and/or system.
Compare the minimal common standard feature bits defined in the gcc lib cpuid.h
and gcc cpuinfo.h headers, with Linux cpuinfo cpufeatures.h, and the output of
the cpuid utility, where almost all bits in older cpuid entries are defined.
