It's actually older than that, and seems to have been introduced by

server: Verify that the client is using a supported CPU type.
That means CPU_FLAG(...) is always positive and different from zero -- unless its parameter is 32 or higher on a 32-bit architecture (and the 1 shifts out).
But the definition of CPU_FLAG doesn't really matter for this. If "CPU_FLAG(cpu)" evaluates to zero, "supported_cpus & prefix_cpu_mask & CPU_FLAG(cpu)" evaluates to zero as well.
