Use of CPUID is probably safe in practice since most 486 models do implement it, though userland should really read /proc/cpuinfo. The other uses may be conditional on a CPU feature test but may well be bugs.

Is format of /proc/cpuinfo documented anywhere?

Does /proc/cpuinfo with the exist on non-Linux architectures? If yes, do they use the same format?

Are the any ready-made libraries that can parse this file?
