I can add a small line comment for each, like:

  AIF_FLOAT 1 /* Floating interrupts enabled */
  AIF_HOST 2  /* Host delivery forced */

But here's a bit more detail:

On SET:
AIF_FLOAT = 1 means enable the interrupt forwarding assist for floating 
interrupt delivery
AIF_FLOAT = 0 means to disable it.
AIF_HOST = 1 means the assist will always deliver the interrupt to the 
host and let the host inject it
AIF_HOST = 0 host only gets interrupts when firmware can't deliver

on GET, we just indicate the current settings from the most recent SET, 
meaning:
AIF_FLOAT = 1 interrupt forwarding assist is currently active
AIF_FLOAT = 0 interrupt forwarding assist is not currently active
AIF_HOST = 1 interrupt forwarding will always go through host
AIF_HOST = 0 interrupt forwarding will only go through the host when 
necessary

You're not wrong -- a similar comment came up for QEMU.  I will add this 
to my todo list as a follow-on.
