SubjectRe: [PATCH v4 2/6] KVM: x86: Introduce CPUID_8000_0007_EDX 'scattered' leaf
Why do we need a new 'scattered' leaf? We are only using two bits in
the first one, right? And now we're only going to use one bit in the
second one?

I thought the point of the 'scattered' leaves was to collect a bunch
of feature bits from different CPUID leaves in a single feature word.

Allocating a new feature word for one or two bits seems extravagant.
