... but ~RMODE_GUEST_OWNED_EFLAGS_BITS is the bits that are owned by the
host; they could be 0 or 1 and that's why the code was using
X86_EFLAGS_IOPL | X86_EFLAGS_VM.
I understand where ~RMODE_GUEST_OWNED_EFLAGS_BITS is better than
X86_EFLAGS_IOPL | X86_EFLAGS_VM, but I cannot think of a way to express
it that is the best of both worlds.
