    There's no reason to do anything really: the 0x0... CPUID leaf is owned
    by Intel and 0x8... by AMD. So far, if AMD implements a feature in the
    Intel leaf, it sets the respective CPUID bit. So a feature can be
    present in multiple vendors. Thus you don't need the vendor name in the
    define.
