This is not an improvement.  The bitfield is marked unknown because
its meaning hasn't been reverse-engineered yet.  But you work for
Intel, presumably you don't have to reverse-engineer the bitfield's
meaning because you know it or can find out about it.

So please submit a patch that changes the name to the bitfield's
actual meaning.

Thanks,

Lukas
