I'd rather have GEN_HIGH_START be an explicit bit number and then add
a BUILD_BUG_ON(GEN_HIGH_START < PT64_SECOND_AVAIL_BITS_SHIFT) to ensure
the MMIO gen doesn't overlap other stuff. That way we get a build error
if someone changes PT64_SECOND_AVAIL_BITS_SHIFT, otherwise the MMIO gen
will end up who knows where and probably overwrite NX or EPT.SUPPRESS_VE.
