I think it was just to be safe in case in the future something else adds
features automatically, in the same way as the cpu->max_features case:

            env->features[w] |=
                x86_cpu_get_supported_feature_word(w, cpu->migratable) &
                ~env->user_features[w] &
                ~feature_word_info[w].no_autoenable_flags;

It would prevent the unavailable dependent features from being added.

But yeah, it would just be enough to place it above this hunk.
