When initializing KVM, check whether physical hardware is a
heterogeneous system through the MIDR values. If so, force userspace to
set the KVM_ARM_VCPU_CROSS feature bit. Otherwise, it should fail to
initialize VCPUs.

Instead of forcing userspace to set a bit, why not just confirm the
target selected will work? E.g. if only generic works on a heterogeneous
system then just

 if (heterogeneous_system && init->target != GENERIC)
    return -EINVAL

should work

Is there no core kernel API that provides this?

On arm64, there is a per-cpu cpuinfo structure kept for each online CPU, which keeps
cached values of the ID registers. May be we could use that here.
See arch/arm64/kernel/cpuinfo.c::__cpuinfo_store_cpu()
