Unneeded, just put F(PCID) below.

Should that have && ept_enabled?  You turn off invpcid below if
!ept_enabled.

This code is unneeded..

Since you override it here anyway.  But maybe it's needed if the host
never calls KVM_SET_CPUID.

We can't just disable it without the guest knowing.  If we don't expose
INCPCID through the MSR, then we should fail VMKLAUNCH or VMRESUME is
this bit is set.

Why check old_cr0?

You can do


  if ((cr4 ^ old_cr4) & (pdptr_bits | X86_CR4_PCIDE))
     ...

I'm worried about the order of writes in
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs().  We might end up in a situation where
we we can't load all registers due to all those checks.
