Yes, just remove those lines and maybe write a comment in the commit
message referring to this thread please.

It won't cause any problems because in pKVM, these values are never
set (initialized to zero). This means that a protected guest always
needs to use spectre/meltdown mitigations, which could be a
performance problem, but not a security one. This is still a bug of
course, hence why I need to fix it.
