Yes, I will remove the code section.

On my test machine, writing non-zero value to PKRU domain 0 will lead
to a GP fault, this is also conform to the usage scenario, and I will
ask the intel architect the reason why SDM does not describe.

If it is OK, I will send the other patch or new version patch to
improve the efficiency of the code.
