Everything in ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 is writable, except for ASIDBITS.

The combination (TGRAN4=NI, TGRAN2_4=TGRAN4, TGRAN16=52_BIT,
TGRAN16_2=52_BIT) is a valid LPA2 configuration, which the test above
rejects.

#define __kvm_has_feat_enum(kvm, id, fld, val)				\
	kvm_cmp_feat_unsigned(kvm, id, fld, ==, val)

#define kvm_has_feat_enum(kvm, ...) __kvm_has_feat_enum(kvm, __VA_ARGS__)

See above why I think your proposal doesn't work.

Thanks,
