Is it the CPUID configuration? Is it the MSR configuration? Is it both?
Kind of looks like both. Not sure what is the cpuid update, though.

This looks redundant, doesn't it?

This comment makes it less clear than it would have been otherwise.

If you want to be thorough, there's also PT_CAP_single_range_output, which
tells us if RTIT_CTL_TOPA can be *unset*. Otherwise it's required.

Are we sure we want to virtualize this and that it's safe?

So, the ctl_bitmask is all the bits that are not allowed?
