That would be the two MPX related bits, yet us (luckily) white listing
leaf 7 in pv_cpuid(), it is quite easy to validate that we don't expose
this feature to PV(H) guests. Sadly the story is different for HVM
guests (where the leaf handling uses black listing), but the register
dump here clearly points to a PV guest (or Dom0).
