    Well, then that's your call.

    Yeah, that simplification is really minor. With this, I would rather
    think KVM wants enforcement before relaying the request to the host.
    That enforcement is unthinkable without supported_xcr0. But it looks
    like userspace is somehow trusted here for KVM.

    Thanks,
    Chang
