IMHO it would be nicer to always call nested_vmx_merge_msr_bitmap() and
make calling code less ugly:

Wouldn't it be easier to simply set everything to 0xff as before and
then only handle the one special case where you don't do that? e.g. the
complete else part would be gone.

I'd vote for indenting the parameters properly (even though we exceed 80
chars by 1 then :) )
