A verb is missing in that sentence.

What Kees said. :)

That looks silly. I wonder if you could do:
switch (nr) {
case XFEATURE_YMM: XCHECK_SZ(sz, XFEATURE_YMM, struct ymmh_struct); return;
case XFEATURE_BNDREGS: XCHECK_SZ(sz, XFEATURE_BNDREGS, struct mpx_bndreg_state); return;
case ...
...
default:
/* that falls into the WARN etc */
and then you get rid of the if check in the macro itself and leave the
macro be a dumb, unconditional one.
Hmmm.
