Oooh, right, because hv_enlightenments uses software reserved bits, and in theory
KVM could be running on a different hypervisor that uses those bits for something
completely different.

Jeremi, if you grab this, can you put the && on the previous line? I.e.

return (ms_hyperv.nested_features & HV_X64_NESTED_ENLIGHTENED_TLB) &&
!!hve->hv_enlightenments_control.enlightened_npt_tlb;
