They don't exist in kernel code either, for same reason as above.

Nothing will break if we remove it since no one really used it, we were
probably the first and only implementation of the spec which considered
them :)

As long as we are able to run older versions of the KVM tool with
newer kernels and vice versa, I see no reason why we can't drop
64-bit features from the KVM tool.

So what happened? Did you guys do this?  Need to know what to do to make
progress.  IIUC Rusty removed the new fields in 0.9.3.
Does your tool still use them? Did any version of the tool released by
distros do so?

Yup, they were removed quite a while ago.

Thanks, that's nice. So we can reuse that bit if we need it
and it won't break your code.
