This implements GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID support using an explicit option for it:
"allow-emulation". We don't want any emulated feature to be enabled by accident,
so they will be enabled only if the user explicitly wants to allow them.

So is this an all-or-nothing approach? I would really prefer to override individual bits.

Also, I don't think the line "emulated" is the right one to draw. We "emulate" SVM or VMX too, but still enable them by default as soon as we think they're ready enough.

So could we add a new flag specifier instead? Today we have -flag and +flag. How about *flag to "force enable if the kernel can handle it, but doesn't do so by default"?
