Well, there *is* support for that - all the raw information is there

wrong interface to try to get the "real" CPUID information - we only
report CPU features that the kernel knows about; bits we don't, if we
can decode them at all, we just don't show.

They are reported as numbers (assuming they are in the existing leaves)

No, they're not.
