This should be a WARN_ON, and the base/mask can be separated just with
an "&".

	WARN_ON(!(msr >= 0x200 && msr < 0x200 + 2 * KVM_NR_VAR_MTRR));

	if ((msr & 1) == 0)
		/* MTRR base */
		return valid_mtrr_type(data & 0xff);

	/* MTRR mask */
	return true;

Please provide a unit test for this patch and for patch 1.
