"same reg2" doesn't provide any context as to what "reg2" is, or what it's used
for.

"Move them to a common helper function" reads as if the patch is moving the
whole handle_*() code :-)
handle_invept(), handle_invvpid(), handle_invpcid() read the same reg2
field in vmcs.VMX_INSTRUCTION_INFO to get the index of the GPR that holds
the invalidation type. Add a helper to retrieve reg2 from VMX instr info
to consolidate and document the shift+mask magic.
