This can just be "(sregs->efer & EFER_LMA) || sregs->cs.l", making the
next "if" redundant. Even better written as

if ((sregs->efer & EFER_LME) && (sregs->cr0 & X86_CR0_PG_BIT)) {
/*
* When EFER.LME and CR0.PG are set, the processor is in
* 64-bit mode (though maybe in a 32-bit code segment).
* CR4.PAE and EFER.LMA must be set.
*/
if (... || ...)
return -EINVAL;
} else {
/*
* Not in 64-bit mode: EFER.LMA is clear and the code
* segment cannot be 64-bit.
*/
if (... || ...)
return -EINVAL;
}
