If you have any further suggestions for debugging, I'm happy to help try
to figure this out. To my eyes, it looks like somehow bits get reset...
It's definitely not clear to me how this happens.

There is the get_cpu_caps call.. but that seems to correctly call
apply_forced_caps at the end.

That's all I have time for today.
