Thinking further about this, Oleg convinced me that we can keep the mask eventually.
It actually makes sense internally just for the use of bpext.

But I still have a few comments on this patchset:

Please comment that it's AMD specific.

How about just:

if (dr <= 4 && dr >= 0)
wrmsr(MSR_F16H_DR1_ADDR_MASK + dr - 1, mask, 0)

So we can access the attr directly instead of get_hbp_len(). Good, that's a welcome
simplification but it's a change that is meaningful and tricky enough to deserve a seperate patch.

Could you send a seperate one for that?

So, that's perhaps just personal preference but having the default on
top of the switch makes things very confusing. Can't we put the above
in the end of the switch instead?

Confused, I thought mask is set only when length is above 8?

Please use WARN_ON_ONCE() instead.
