If it breaks stuff it's all your fault ;-) I checked these commits: 218a372: x86: override_capabilities in early_identify_cpu 5144b68: x86: prepare noexec for being called earlier 5689919: x86: clean up setup_clear/force_cpu_cap handling b41144e: x86: act on mem= and memmap= later in boot and they definitely look like a step forward. One detail: please send a pull request to Linus after the pending x86 tree went upstream, so that there are no conflicts with existing x86 items. There will be a (trivial) context-overlap conflict in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c.
