Do we need an enum for AES-NI here?

I don't believe so. AES-NI support is orthogonal to this, linear progression of
Intel features. 

     MAX_INTEL_MICRO_ARCHITECTURE
   };
 
   // Accessors for CPU information.
   const std::string& vendor_name() const { return cpu_vendor_; }
   int signature() const { return signature_; }
   int stepping() const { return stepping_; }
   int model() const { return model_; }
   int family() const { return family_; }
   int type() const { return type_; }
   int extended_model() const { return ext_model_; }
   int extended_family() const { return ext_family_; }
   bool has_mmx() const { return has_mmx_; }
   bool has_sse() const { return has_sse_; }
   bool has_sse2() const { return has_sse2_; }
   bool has_sse3() const { return has_sse3_; }
   bool has_ssse3() const { return has_ssse3_; }
   bool has_sse41() const { return has_sse41_; }
   bool has_sse42() const { return has_sse42_; }
   bool has_avx() const { return has_avx_; }
   bool has_non_stop_time_stamp_counter() const {
     return has_non_stop_time_stamp_counter_;
   }
+  bool has_aesni() const { return has_aesni_; }

It seems that has_aesni() should follow has_avx() because it is also an
instruction set feature. Similarly for the has_aesni_ member.

Done.

  private:

   void Initialize();

   int type_;  // process type
   int family_;  // family of the processor
   int model_;  // model of processor
   int stepping_;  // processor revision number
   int ext_model_;
   int ext_family_;
