This approach adds yet another "reject list" to be maintained as hardware evolves. I'd rather see that we first change KVM to using an accept list, i.e. mask everything and then only set what we want to enable. Mimicking that new accept list in pKVM, where much less would be enabled, would reduce the amount of maintenance needed.
