I believe this will genereate undefined behavior if depth > 64. Or if depth < 8.
And I believe this check also needs to enforce that depth is a multiple of 8.

For each bit n set in this field, the IA32_LBR_DEPTH.DEPTH value 8*(n+1) is
supported.

Thus it's impossible for 0-7, 9-15, etc... to be legal depths.

Thank you! How about:

best = kvm_find_cpuid_entry(vcpu, 0x1c, 0);
if (best && depth && !(depth % 8))
return (best->eax & 0xff) & (1ULL << (depth / 8 - 1));

return false;
