Ah, ye, I was being dumb - I was somehow thinking that you were using
the errata patch function to patch this, which obviously wouldn't be a
good design. If that had been the case, you'd never patch anything, but
you patch the extensions using the cpufeature patch function so it all
works out.
If anything, I guess there could be an assert here somewhere that
enforces ERRATA_VENDOR_NUMBER < VENDOR_EXT_BASE.
