Well, the hardware being allowed to ignore the bit makes its introduction
without an indication forward compatible because it does not require vSIE to be adapted.
The reserved bits are implicitly set to 0 which means new features are disabled
by default and one observes all the interception one expects.

Maybe this:

/* no facility bit, can opt in because we do not need
   to observe specification exception intercepts */

?
