Might be worth elminating the intermediate "range", too.  Doesn't affect output,
but it would make it a little more obvious that the new range is mostly coming
straight from userspace input.  E.g.

	msr_filter->ranges[msr_filter->count] = (struct msr_bitmap_range) {
		.flags = user_range->flags,
		.base = user_range->base,
		.nmsrs = user_range->nmsrs,
		.bitmap = bitmap,
	};

Either way:
