The original macro had 1UL here.  I don't know if it is strictly
necessary in this case since we're using 32-bit masks, but it would
probably be safer.

I did notice it, but don't think UL is needed.

You do need 1U, or you'll trip UBSAN every time you test feature 31 in a
word.

This is so obvious, how come I totally missed it!

I'll note that the hypervisor bit is one such example.

What's more, generally bit 31 is nothing special, I find:
#define X86_FEATURE_PBE ( 0*32+31) /* Pending Break Enable */
#define X86_FEATURE_3DNOW ( 1*32+31) /* 3DNow */
#define X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ ( 3*32+31) /* TSC has known frequency */
...

Definitely I must append "U".

Thanks!
