The patches look good.  Please include a cover letter (patch 0/n) next
time, and detail the changes from previous submissions.

It would also be nice to have support of the new feature for nested VMX
as well (including kvm-unit-tests coverage).

hpa/Ingo/Thomas, can you give your Acked-by for this patch?

I'm not sure of the consequences of changing XCNTXT_MASK.  This series
(which was submitted with the wrong threading) wants it so that KVM can
use fpu_save_init and fpu_restore_checking to save and restore the MPX
state of the guest.

Hi, I'm currently reviewing internally another set of patches for MPX
support which would at least in part conflict with these.  I don't see
the rest of the series -- where was it posted?

Either way:

1. asm/cpufeatures.h patches should always be separate, as we put those
into a special branch into the -tip tree since they touch so many other
things.

2. Enabling MPX is only safe with XSTATE_EAGER, which Qiaowei's patchset
has done correctly.

It was posted to kvm-devel and not threaded. :(
