Yes?  I'm not sure what you're asking.  BUILD_BUG_ON() is a just more flexible
version of stiatic_assert(); it only requires that the inputs be compile-time
constants, not purely "static".

he above throws an error at compile-time if there is new overlap between the
CR{0,4} MMU role bits and the possible guest-owned bits.  E.g. adding SMEP to the
possible guest-owned CR4 bits yields:
