Track the "basic" capabilities VMX MSR as a single u64 in vmcs_config instead of splitting it across three fields, that obviously don't combine into a single 64-bit value, so that KVM can use the macros that define MSR bits using their absolute position. Replace all open coded shifts and masks, many of which are relative to the "high" half, with the appropriate macro. Opportunistically use VMX_BASIC_32BIT_PHYS_ADDR_ONLY instead of an open coded equivalent, and clean up the related comment to not reference a specific SDM section (to the surprise of no one, the comment is stale). No functional change intended (though obviously the code generation will be quite different).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
