I totally agree.  That is why couple years ago I wanted to add and convert
everything to MI replacement of struct cpu_info.  Since this work requires
intervention to all ports, it did not materialise since..  After cleaning
up the dust from ancient patches, I could put MI interface into a branch.

However, I do not think that adding ad-hoc bitfield based interface in
addition to the "ugly" one is an improvement.  Quite the opposite as then
we would need to deal with two "not great" ones.
