OK, so xa_store() aside[*], I see some bool-to-bools:

arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:
kvm_msr_allowed():allowed = !!test_bit(index - start, bitmap);
arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c:
kvm_hv_hypercall():hc.rep = !!(hc.rep_cnt || hc.rep_idx);
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c:
update_pkru_bitmask():
pkey_bits = !!check_pkey;
pkey_bits |= (!!check_write) << 1;
arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c:
msr_write_intercepted():return !!test_bit(bit_write, &tmp);
svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid():
2x set_msr_interception...
tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/vmx_exception_with_invalid_guest_state.c:
set_or_clear_invalid_guest_state():sregs.tr.unusable = !!set;

But perhaps this is a matter of style and those were meant to be this kind-of
explicit?
