Because Intel and AMD support it via different cpuinfo feature names. It is |
| 10 |
popcnt on Intel, and abm on AMD. The description of the flag should also |
| 11 |
mention that it is included in feature "abm" on AMD CPUs (and Intel CPUs, |
| 12 |
but since they list popcnt separately, too, that might be confusing). |
