Seems weird to export the enum value if the enum isn't exported.
How can it be used?


I'm not sure about the issue. The caller gets the value of MSR_LBR_INFO_0 (not the enum, LBR_FORMAT_INFO) only when the hardware supports it. If hardware doesn't support it, just sets it to 0, and there will be no lbr info msr to be passed through.

Best,
