I got that simplification and your changes look good to me.


However, I am still curious know the reason why vmx_mpx_supported()
returns true only when both controls are true whereas the SDM states the
following:

"IA32_BNDCFGS (64 bits). This field is supported only on processors
that support either the 1-setting of the “load IA32_BNDCFGS” VM-entry
control or that of the “clear IA32_BNDCFGS” VM-exit control."

Thanks,
Krish
