For non-feature bits, I think I would rather handle them entirely at runtime via
switch statement(s).  Realistically, CPUID.0x1.E{A,B}X are never going to be
repurposed to hold feature bits, and so generating a mask of allowed bits adds
unnecessary cognitive load and maintenance.  Ditto for CPUID 0x4, 0x18, and 0x1F.

CPUID.0x1E is a bit different because it's kinda sorta a feature?  That one is
probably worth restricting, but again that's easy to do in a case-statement.

Then for the feature bits, there should be no need to define a separate structure,
just do "u32 kvm_tdx_cpu_caps[NR_KVM_CPU_CAPS]".  Then KVM can even further
restrict that array with kvm_cpu_caps (though it might take some creativity to
deal with things like MWAIT).  Because generally speaking, KVM shouldn't allow
features that KVM doesn't support for non-TDX VMs.
