Indeed, 5ab2f45bba4894a0db4af8567da3efd6228dd010.

This part of logic is pretty fragile and fragmented due to semantic
inconsistencies between supported_xcr0 and guest_supported_xcr0
in other three places:

- __do_cpuid_func
- kvm_mpx_supported
- kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_xsave

Have you identified all their areas of use ?
