can you do that call inside check_cpu_pa_features? or is it because we
have the same issue with baremetal platforms?
Can we also rename this to indicate we are sanitizing the feature flag
based on kernel command line. Something like
/* Update cpu features based on kernel command line */
update_cpu_features();
