This hunk is incorrect, and I can simply drop it when applying. If MPX is not supported, it should not be in the 0Dh CPUID leaf and thus in vcpu->arch.guest_supported_xcr0.

This however relies on userspace passing a "sensible" value of CPUID. I'll send a patch to strengthen the computation of guest_supported_xcr0.

Thanks!
