I assume the +1 is just a weird undocumented (or weirdly documented) encoding?
https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/processor-tech-docs/programmer-references/24594.pdf
says that field InvlpgbCountMax contains the "Maximum page count for
INVLPGB instruction" and doesn't mention having to add 1 from what I
can tell.
