First, I thought there's an off-by-one here (and should be '63') but
then I checked with TLFS and figured out that the limit comes from
HvExtCallQueryCapabilities's response which doesn't include itself
(0x8001) in the mask, this means it can encode

0x8002 == bit0
0x8003 == bit1
..
0x8041 == bit63

so indeed, the last one supported is 0x8041 == 0x8001 + 64

maybe it's worth extending the commont on where '64' comes from.

I wasn't able to find any statement in TLFS stating whether extended
hypercalls can be 'fast', I can imagine e.g. MemoryHeatHintAsync using
it. Unfortunatelly, our userspace exit will have to be modified to
handle such stuff. This can stay for the time being I guess..
