Is "supports" the best word here?
A CPU is based on a microarchitecture, it doesn't really support it. I
guess we could say the CPU supports a microarchitecture's *features*,
but that's a bit wordy for a tiny comment.
Maybe:
#define X86_FEATURE_ZEN (7*32+28) /* "" CPU based on Zen uarch */
or spell out "microarchitecture" if there's room.
