Yes, it's a bit over-engineered with the matter of fact that these are never going
to hold feature bit.

Only CPUID.0x1E.EAX has TDX directly configurable bits currently, no special
handling needed for the rest of CPUID.0x1E.

OK, will go this direction in the next version.
Thanks for the suggestions.
