Oh, correct.  That list should've only been:

    arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/core.c
    arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/intel.c
    arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c
    drivers/cpufreq/longrun.c
    drivers/cpufreq/powernow-k7.c
    drivers/cpufreq/powernow-k8.c

I had a script that scanned the CPUID call sites which included
<asm/cpuid/api.h> implicitly through <asm/processor.h>.  I filtered the
false positives but forgot to remove them from the cover letter… :-(

For the arch/x86/kvm/ files, they got updated in one go by modifying
their internal "cpuid.h" header (arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.h) to explicitly
include the CPUID API.

Thanks,
