When we add a new feature (e.g., in CET series, bit 56 is added), the above
two macros need to be modified.

Would it be better to use a macro for bits exempt from the bitwise check below
e.g.,

#define VMX_BASIC_MULTI_BITS_FEATURES_MASK

	(GENMASK_ULL(53, 50) | GENMASK_ULL(44, 32) | GENMASK_ULL(30, 0))

and do
	if (!is_bitwise_subset(vmx_basic, data,
			       ~VMX_BASIC_MULTI_BITS_FEATURES_MASK)

then we don't need to change the macro when adding new features.

Side topic:

Actually, there is no need to handle bit 48 as a special case. If we add bit 48
to VMX_BASIC_FEATURES_MASK, the bitwise check will fail if bit 48 of @data is 1.
