Human eyes are wonderful things. They do pattern matching given the right input. Compare: CPU: After vendor init, caps: 0183f9ff c1c7f9ff 00000000 00000000 CPU: After generic, caps: 0183f9ff c1c7f9ff 00000000 00000000 CPU: Common caps: 0183f9ff c1c7f9ff 00000000 00000000 with: CPU: After vendor init, caps: 0183f9ff c1c7f9ff 00000000 00000000 CPU: After generic, caps: 0183f9ff c1c7f9ff 00000000 00000000 CPU: Common caps: 0183f9ff c1c7f9ff 00000000 00000000 In the second case it's immediately obivous nothing changed during these steps.
