Likely you should only report features that are applicable to a model. 
that is, if it's part of the full_feat.

Otherwise, the caller might simply want do set all features to "false", 
and we'd fail setting a feature that is unknown to a specific CPU 
generation.

That is, you would AND the bitmap with the full_feat of the underlying 
CPU definition.
