Both XSAVE state components are supervisor states, even the state

^^^^^

A verb is missing in that sentence.

That looks silly. I wonder if you could do:

	switch (nr) {
	case XFEATURE_YMM:	XCHECK_SZ(sz, XFEATURE_YMM, struct ymmh_struct);	  return;
	case XFEATURE_BNDREGS:	XCHECK_SZ(sz, XFEATURE_BNDREGS, struct mpx_bndreg_state); return;
	case ...
	...
	default:
		/* that falls into the WARN etc */

and then you get rid of the if check in the macro itself and leave the
macro be a dumb, unconditional one.

Hmmm.
