For arbitrary MSRs this isn't going to do any good. If only very
specific MSRs are assumed to make it here, I think this wants
commenting on.

Also, nit: stray semicolon.

const (twice)?

Could you explain your thinking behind this (a code comment would
likely help)? You effectively discard everything except subleaf 1
by returning false in that case, don't you?

Can we perhaps assume all subleaves here are going to hold flags,
and hence and both sides together without regard to what subleaf
we're actually dealing with (subleaf 1 remaining special as to
EAX of course)? This would avoid having to remember to make yet
another mechanical change when enabling a new subleaf.

Considering your LFENCE-always-serializing patch, I assume
whichever ends up going in last will take care of adding handling
of that leaf here?
