Citing from the PDF document:

> The Virtualization Application-Specific Extension (Module) requires the 
> following base architecture support:

The current GCC code split these words at the following boundaries:

> The "Virtualization Application Specific" "Module"

This would imply that there is a module called VAS.

The usual reading is different, though:

> The "Virtualization" "application-specific module"

This means there is an application-specific module called "Virtualization".

The words "Application-Specific Extension" are probably only capitalized
because they have been defined somewhere as a concept. In GCC, these words
should not be capitalized, and there should be a hyphen between
"application-specific", to be consistent with the grammar in other places.
