Yes. This sounds like a buug idea. Right now we have the (euphemism alert)
"bad capability" scattered around in multiple places, it certainly makes
sense to me to make it the same kind of bitmap as the "good capabilities".
Another thing that would be good would be to have some names for the
capabilities we currently use: using "x & 16" and just magically knowing
that "16" is the bit value for X86_CAP_TSC is kind of obscure.
Anybody want to do something like this?
