I’m saying that, as long > as the list file is kept up to date, then I will look at those 90 flags Why do you keep insisting on 90 flags? Nothing is going to have alternate code paths for whether you've got pse, pse36, pat, fpu, or ept. The vast majority of the flags in cpuinfo aren't ever going to be in anything userspace. The kernel might care about them, but even then, most of them aren't going to be related to any options you can change.
