I don't like this sentence; shared commonality is a pleonasm and the use
of however makes it sounds like there's some caveat here.
If the top 16 bits are indeed arhictecture specific, then I think they
should just be defined in their architecture specific headers. Unless
the idea here is that there's a fixed set of of flags that architectures
can choose to support, in which case it should simply be defined in the
common header.

OK I can see that - after I looked it up ;-)

Well an architecture might not support some features and want to use
those bits for something else? I didn't want to force the bottom two
of the architecture specific bits to wasted if the features don't exist.

This change comes from a discussion we had on v1 of this series

In that case I think the definition is local to each architecture and
should indeed just be duplicated. The __ definitions complicate more
than they help as they are exported to userspace etc. The KVM
maintainers may have a different view on this though.
