Oh, yeah, definitely.  I missed that SVM's invpcid_interception() has the same
open-coded check.

Alternatively, could we handle the invalid type in the main switch statement?  I
don't see anything in the SDM or APM that architecturally _requires_ the type be
checked before reading the INVPCID descriptor.  Hardware may operate that way,
but that's uArch specific behavior unless there's explicit documentation.
