Sure.

Before sending a patch, let me check if my understanding is right...
I will add a helper in scattered.c like:

unsigned int get_scattered_cpuid_features(unsigned int level,
					unsigned int sub_leaf, enum cpuid_regs reg)
{
	u32 val = 0;
	const struct cpuid_bit *cb;

	for (cb = cpuid_bits; cb->feature; cb++) {

		if (reg == cb->reg &&
			level == cb->level &&
			sub_leaf == cb->sub_leaf &&
			boot_cpu_has(cb->feature))

			val |= cb->bit;
	}

	return val;
}

And, when KVM wants to mask out features, it can be called outside like:

entry->edx &= kvm_cpuid_7_0_edx_x86_features;
entry->edx &= get_scatterd_cpuid_features(7, 0, CR_EDX);
