(the lahf_lm flag matches, though I've no idea what it means).
arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h says it indicates whether the
LAHF/SAHF (load status flags to AH /save AH to status flags)
instructions are available in long mode.
I'm not sure what it implies if you have lahf_lm but not lm!

Good! Thanks to all who responded, this has been educational and
worth the bandwidth expended to me ... So much to know, so little
time to learn!
