kvm cpu flags

hi, i'm a user of kvm and unknown to me is what ideal cpu flags would be best to have or substract (-cpu ) so as to not expose too much for a virtual machine's capability.

it's my last bit for optimizing my kvm instances, and can't seem to find documentation about it online, so maybe I can try asking on this mailinglist. Here I'm substracting the hypervisor flag (-cpu kvm64,+x2apic,-hypervisor), thinking this is exposing too much capability for a vm to have.

so my current cpu flags(in the vm) now stands with
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx lm constant_tsc nopl eagerfpu pni cx16 x2apic

I understand there's nesting virtualization capabilities where such is too much for the vm but I would like to make sure I'm not removing something that is used for kvm's paravirtualization.

thanks
