I think 'v' should be enclosed in parentheses in those three macros.

Nit: Probably it might be worth adding a comment that explains the
above two macros ? (e.g. what is each element of the triplets ?)

Minor nit: KVM Functions and macros whose names begin with "vcpu_"
make me think that they are the operations for a vCPU specified in
the argument, but this macro is not (this might just my own
assumption?). So, IMHO I would prefer a name whose prefix is not
"vcpu_". Having said that, I don't have any good suggestions though...
Perhaps I might prefer "unpack_vcpu_flag" a bit instead?
Thanks,
