Comments would be nice.

Heh, it's correct, just poorly worded.  The "&" is trying to convey
that both UC and WB are both unsupported.  A better wording might be:

    No usable EPT paging-structure memory type (UC or WB) supported.

Doh, yes.

I'm confused, it's already above memset.

Technically yes?  The test explicitly checks that EPT is support, i.e.
if enable_ept() then the test will fail anyways.  Probably makes more
sense to change enable_ept() to spaz out on failure since I'm pretty
sure all callers assume it will succeed.

Same as above.
