These are VMware hypercall commands:
#define VMWARE_CMD_GETVERSION    10
#define VMWARE_CMD_GETHZ         45
#define VMWARE_CMD_GETVCPU_INFO  68
#define VMWARE_CMD_STEALCLOCK    91


These are VMware-specific macros to analyze return values of 
corresponding commands. They are prefixed with command name.
#define GETVCPU_INFO_LEGACY_X2APIC           BIT(3)
#define GETVCPU_INFO_VCPU_RESERVED           BIT(31)

#define STEALCLOCK_NOT_AVAILABLE (-1)
#define STEALCLOCK_DISABLED        0
#define STEALCLOCK_ENABLED         1


Name VMWARE_CMD_LEGACY_X2APIC was not correct as LEGACY_X2APIC is not a 
command but the meaning of 3rd bit of a return value of 
VMWARE_CMD_GETVCPU_INFO. So, change it to GETVCPU_INFO_LEGACY_X2APIC.
The same change with GETVCPU_INFO_VCPU_RESERVED.
Both these bits are not generic.
