>From (partly just halfway) recent discussions with H.J. I gained
the understanding that the piece we're aiming at getting to work
properly is the recording of GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_2_*, not
so much GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_*. If the ISA one is to be used as
a basis here, a lot of new flags will need adding (and properly
setting) first, I think.
