This one actually is mentioned, though it's not super obvious.

    Opportunistically use BIT_ULL() instead of open coding hex values, add
    defines for feature bits that are architecturally defined, and move the

    defines down in the file so that they are colocated with the helpers for
    getting fields from VMX_MISC.
