The comment should call out that checking split_lock_detect_enabled() is an
optimization.

		/*
		 * Reflect #AC to the guest if it's expecting the #AC, i.e. has
		 * legacy alignment check enabled.  Pre-check host split lock

		 * i.e. reflect the #AC if the only possible source is legacy

I'd prefer to avoid talking about sld_state at all and instead keep those
details in handle_user_split_lock().

Something like:

		/*
		 * Forward the #AC to userspace if kernel policy does not allow
		 * temporarily disabling split lock detection.
		 */
