I agree with not testing for +/- on s390x. And since s390x doesn't
even support CPU models until 2.8 (which is conveniently when
query-cpu-model-expac was introduced!), we don't necessarily
need to do any kind of error checking in the CPU feature
argument generation code. We will encounter an error
relating to "no support for CPU models" first.
