Has it? I'm fairly sure I've never explicitly tested it. I'm also
doubting now that I've *ever* seen it work without booting with 'noxsaves'.

I just discovered it when adding a new feature. I actually backed out
all of my changes before reporting this issue. I'm running a completely
untouched 4.0-rc1 kernel with the config I attached a moment ago.
If I boot with 'noxsaves', MPX works fine. If I boot without it, the
kernel never sees the values that userspace sets in the "bndcsr" register.
