Hmm... would it make sense to decouple the VM types and their associated
capabilities? Only bit 2 is left in the lower range after this, and using any
bits beyond TDX's bit 4 risks overflowing check_extension ioctl's 32-bit return
value.

Yes, the idea was to leave 0..7 for vendor independent types (with 0 and 1 in use), 8..15 for AMD (3 of them being reserved already for SEV/SEV-ES/SEV-SNP), 16..23 for Intel.

Maybe a separate lookup table instead?

The mask was nice because it can be used in relatively hot paths... I'll keep them but move the constants away from uapi/ headers.
