I would change the description to merely say what the CPUID bits mean, and what they mean is exactly that an MSR is valid.

I'm not sure what this phrase means. Steal time is a host feature, not a guest feature: IIUC if this bit is set, the hypervisor can pass the guest information about how much time was spent running other processes outside the VM. > enabled when > + || || shedstat or task delay > accounting > + || || is supported by the host.
