Nit, state the effect, not what the code literally does. The important part is
that the end result is that KVM will zap if and only if guest MTRRs are being
honored, e.g.
Zap SPTEs when CR0.CD is toggled if and only if KVM's MMU is honoring
guest MTRRs, which is the only time that KVM incorporates the guest's
CR0.CD into the final memtype.
