You seem to have entirely missed the point of this code, which is to
prevent userspace from adding features that have previously been
removed for this vCPU (e.g as a side-effect of KVM_SET_CPUID).


We only have the case that the scope of features set by userspace is always reduced, right? If so, we don't need the change here.
