Might be worth elminating the intermediate "range", too. Doesn't affect output,
but it would make it a little more obvious that the new range is mostly coming
straight from userspace input. E.g.
msr_filter->ranges[msr_filter->count] = (struct msr_bitmap_range) {
.flags = user_range->flags,
.base = user_range->base,
.nmsrs = user_range->nmsrs,
.bitmap = bitmap,
};
Either way:
