Save BNDCFGS to vmcs12 (from vmcs02) if and only if at least of one of the load-on-entry or clear-on-exit fields for BNDCFGS is enumerated as an allowed-1 bit in vmcs12. Skipping the field avoids an unnecessary VMREAD when MPX is supported but not exposed to L1. Per Intel's SDM: If the processor supports either the 1-setting of the "load IA32_BNDCFGS" VM-entry control or that of the "clear IA32_BNDCFGS" VM-exit control, the contents of the IA32_BNDCFGS MSR are saved into the corresponding field.
