That's a part of it, yes - you've submitted a partial patch which
doesn't implement enough support to work fully on pretty much all modern
systems.

Please take a reality check here - the code for this leaf package now
compiles but does not fully run on an architecture which isn't exactly
likely to be a release candidate in the near future. This doesn't
strike me as being the most urgent issue ever.

Note that I downgraded the severity to wishlist. This is different to
closing the bug. All you're doing by trying to keep the severity of the
bug inflated is to annoy me.

As the output says the program was unable to access the cpuid driver.
The cpuid driver requires administrative rights.
