Can this be const?

The only flaw in this is if KVM gets handed a CPUID model that enumerates support
for 2025 (or whenever the next update comes) but not 2022.  Hmm, though if Microsoft
defines each new "version" as a full superset, then even that theoretical bug goes
away.  I'm happy to be optimistic for once and give this a shot.  I definitely like
that it makes it easier to see the deltas between versions.
