Yep, I can certainly understand that POV. Unfortunately I think in this case we really do need to do it the right way. IIUC, Xen does indeed allow the CPUID mask to be configured, so it ought to be possible to map from the libvirt XML to the CPUID mask format. It would certainly be a non-negligble bit of work though.
