Hi,

This is no doubt better than using '|'.

I still strongly prefer my version, because I don't really like the fact that _F 
macros have side effects, and yet passed as parameters to the kvm_cpu_cap_init function/macro.

Basically an unwritten rule, which I consider very important and because of which
I raised my concerns over this patch series is that if a function has side effects,
it should not be used as a parameter to another function, instead, it should be 
called explicitly on its own.

If you strongly prefer the variadic macro over my begin/end API, I can live with
that though, it is still better than '|'ing a mask with functions that have side
effects.

Best regards,
	Maxim Levitsky
