Currently,

Any objection to using something super short like "e2" instead of cpuid_entries2
so that this can squeeze on a single line, or at least be a little more sane?

Don't suppose you'd want to opportunistically kill off these gotos?

This is a bit odd. The previous vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries is preserved on
allocation failure, but not on kvm_check_cpuid() failure. Being destructive
on the "check" failure was always a bit odd, but it really stands out now.

Given that kvm_check_cpuid() now only does an actual check and not a big
pile of updates, what if we refactored the guts of kvm_find_cpuid_entry()
into yet another helper so that kvm_check_cpuid() could check the input
before crushing vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries?

if (cpuid->nent) {
e2 = vmemdup_user(entries, array_size(sizeof(e2[0]), cpuid->nent));
if (IS_ERR(e2))
return PTR_ERR(e2);

r = kvm_check_cpuid(e2, cpuid->nent);
if (r)
return r;
}

vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries = e2;
vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent = cpuid->nent;
return 0;
