I haven't checked the ordering of features in these two models but all other
models should have features sorted according to their bit values and I think
that's what we should stick with. It's easier to visually compare such models
with /proc/cpuinfo or qemu model definitions where features are also sorted
that way. Sorting them alphabetically doesn't make much sense.
