Sorry, this actually is:

    /*
     * Compile-time failure: Requested subleaf > max dynamic subleaf
     * CPUID(0xd).n, n > 63
     */

    cpuid_subleaf_n(&boot_cpu_data, 0xd, 64);

which is the correct thing, as per the Intel SDM manuals: n <= 63.

That false upper-bound snippet was a left over from a previous cover
letter draft.  That is, before the x86-cpuid-db commit:

Thanks!
