Sure, but we should indicate which actual options conflicted.

No, this is what I meant.

I think --enable-ptrauth is still useful: with --disable-ptrauth,
ptrauth is definitely turned off; with --enable-ptrauth, ptrauth is
definitely turned on (or we refuse to start the guest at all); with
neither, ptrauth is on for the guest if the host supports it.
