I can partially see your point. I can't see how the extra coprocessor bits will be set in cpu_possible_mask and whether this will affect normal linux operation (ie: will it think it can bring that cpu up or migrate irqs to it?). Since you don't see an issue with it, it must be just a missing gap in my knowledge that I'll fill while doing this work.
