I doubt if we would gain anything by moving it around.
cpus_have_const_cap() would fall back to test_bit() until we mark that
the static_branches have been updated explicitly, which happens after
we have issued the stop_machine(). So, even if we move the static branch
per capability, we don't gain much.

Is that what you were looking for ?
