Why 10? I think this is the only use of this constant, but a macro
would still be nice, especially since the number appears to be
arbitrary.

Wouldn't 0x400 be a more natural size, since both Intel and AMD MSR
permission bitmaps cover ranges of 8192 MSRs?

In another thread, when I suggested that a function should return
bool, you said, "'I'm not a big fan of bool returning APIs unless they
have an "is" in their name.' This function doesn't have "is" in its
name. :-)

The !! seems gratuitous, since r is of type bool.

This seems like an awkward constraint. Would it be possible to allow
overlapping ranges as long as the access types don't clash? So, for
example, could I specify an allow list for READ of MSRs 0-0x1ffff and
an allow list for WRITE of MSRs 0-0x1ffff? Actually, I don't see why
you have to prohibit overlapping ranges at all.

Nit: In earlier code, you use u32 for this index. (I'm actually a fan
of int, myself.)

It's 50/50 now, u32 vs. int. :-)
