Ok.

No - not intentional.

We are inside a do { } () while loop, parsing something such as
cpuid=avx512,ss,smx

The binary search over the feature names needs to start again from
scratch for each new cpuid= list item.

Otherwise, the while ( lhs < rhs ) binary search will never be entered
for the second cpuid= item.
