Ya, I don't love the code, but it was the least awful of the options I
tried, in that it's the most readable without being too obnoxious.
Similar to your suggestion, but it avoids evaluating __is_bad_mt_xwr() if
reserved bits are set, which is admittedly rare.
return __is_rsvd_bits_set(&mmu->guest_rsvd_check, gpte, level)
#if PTTYPE == PTTYPE_EPT
|| __is_bad_mt_xwr(&mmu->guest_rsvd_check, gpte)
#endif
;
Or macrofying the call to keep the call site clean, but IMO this obfuscates
things too much.
return __is_rsvd_bits_set(&mmu->guest_rsvd_check, gpte, level) ||
IS_BAD_MT_XWR(&mmu->guest_rsvd_check, gpte);
