The hypercalls test currently defines its own *_BMAP_BIT_MAX macros to define the last valid feature bit for each bitmap firmware register. However, since these definitions are already present in the uapi header, kvm.h, as *_BMAP_BIT_COUNT, and would help to keep the test updated as features grow, use these instead.
No functional change intended.

LOL, looks like I lost that one in the end! Still, the fact that you're patching the selftest highlights the fact that there is a nonzero chance of userspace using this value incorrectly expecting it to hold true across all kernels.
Since this is the route going forward can we please consider documenting the fact that _BIT_COUNT *will* change and is not stable between kernel versions. Bad UAPI expectations could throw a wrench into this entire plan we've hatched for preserving hypercall ABI.
Just a warning at the end of the register documentation would suffice.

Maybe something in the kvm.h file as well, as the includes are often distributed without the kernel documentation. Something like:

That seems like a bad idea. Perhaps you can wrap it in #ifdef __KERNEL_OR_SELFTESTS__? I can't find any prior art.

Yeah. I've dropped this patch and sprinkled a bunch of '#ifdef __KERNEL__' instead. We can revisit this later, or hack the test to temporarily define __KERNEL__, which is just as bad...
