My worry is that if nothing documents which sets are allocated to which
vendor, it'll become a mess.
Imagine a Linux SNP guest and a windoze one, both running on a KVM
hypervisor (is that even possible?) and both using the same termination
reason set with conflicting reason numbers.
Unneeded confusion.
Unless the spec says, "reason set 1 is allocated to Linux, set 2 to
windoze, etc"
Then all know which is which.
And so on...
Thx.
