Just to check whether this is actually the issue we are talking about, Sid et 
al, could you try this?

Does this band-aid happen to cover-up the issue?


I need to think about the proper fix though, any suggestions Paolo, Eduardo?

The pickle here is that we'd need to call the accelerator specific 
initialization of the x86 accel-cpu only after the x86 cpu subclass initfn,
otherwise the accel-specific cpu initialization code has no chance to see the 
subclass (max) trying to set ->max_features.
