Commit Message

mdesc_cpu_hwcap_list() matches each string in the cpu node's hwcap-list
against hwcaps[] and crypto_hwcaps[]. A string that matches neither is
skipped silently, so firmware can advertise a capability the kernel has
no name for and nothing reports it.

A SPARC T7-1 (M7) emits 28 entries, of which eight match nothing:

    vis3b pause-nsec mwait sparc5 cfr mont xmpmul xmont

Print the ones that are not recognised.
