Besides formatting changes, this logic dates back to Linux 2.4.0-test11 in
November 2000.
Prior to "Massive cleanup of CPU detection and bug handling",
c->x86_capability was a single u32 containing cpuid(1).edx,
cpuid(0x80000001).edx, or a synthesis thereof. X86_FEATURE_AMD3D was
defined as the top bit this single u32.
After "Massive cleanup of CPU detection and bug handling",
c->x86_capability became an array with AMD's extended feature leaf split
away from Intel's basic feature leaf.
AMD doc #20734-G states that 3DNow is only enumerated in the extended
feature leaf, and that other vendors where using this bit too. i.e. AMD
never produced a CPU which set bit 31 in the basic leaf, meaning that
there's nothing to clear out in the first place.
This logic looks like it was relevant in the pre-"Massive cleanup" world
but ought to have been dropped when c->x86_capability was properly split.
