One thought would be to initialize "vendor" to a bogus value, disallow calls to
cc_set_vendor() until after the kernel as gotten to a safe point, and then WARN
(or panic?) if cc_platform_has() is called before "vendor" is explicitly set.
New calls can still get in, but they'll be much easier to detect and less likely
to escape initial testing.

Likely just garbage on my end, I was trying various ideas.
