Nit: can we have another tab between | and \?

This will help to make missing |s stand out more if/when more entries
are added to this list in future.

Semantically "cap_type" represents a set of accepted types, not a single
type here.

Can we rename it to "cap_types", "cap_type_mask" or similar?

Minor nit: insert a blank line here?

To me, lack of a blank line suggests that the code will always fall
through to the next line, which is not the case after
return/continue/break/goto.

Alternatively:

		if (!(caps->type & cap_type) ||
		    !caps->matches(caps, caps->def_scope))
			continue;

still seems fairly intelligible ...[1]

The "caps_type" argument should be named consistently with the
corresponding argument to update_cpu_capabilities().

[1]... and would match the approach taken here.

Did you mean to insert the ! here?
