Tweak the code a bit to facilitate resetting more xstate components in
the future, e.g., adding CET's xstate-managed MSRs.

No functional change intended.

Checking whether KVM supports MPX is indirect and adds complexity.

how about something like:

#define XSTATE_NEED_RESET_MASK (XFEATURE_MASK_BNDREGS | \
XFEATURE_MASK_BNDCSR)

u64 reset_mask;
...

reset_mask = (kvm_caps.supported_xcr0 | kvm_caps.supported_xss) &
XSTATE_NEED_RESET_MASK;
if (vcpu->arch.guest_fpu.fpstate && reset_mask) {
...
for_each_set_bit(i, &reset_mask, XFEATURE_MAX)
fpstate_clear_xstate_component(fpstate, i);
...
}

then in patch 24, you can simply add CET_U/S into XSTATE_NEED_RESET_MASK.

Yes, the proposal looks good to me, will apply it in next version, thanks!
