I bet it is that

        /* Unmask CPUID levels if masked: */
        if (c->x86 > 6 || (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model >= 0xd)) {
                if (msr_clear_bit(MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE,
                                  MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_LIMIT_CPUID_BIT) > 0) {
                        c->cpuid_level = cpuid_eax(0);
                        get_cpu_cap(c);
                }
        }

in early_init_intel(). If you feel like playing, you might comment it
out to see what happens.
