Per KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID ioctl documentation:

This ioctl returns x86 cpuid features which are supported by both the
hardware and kvm in its default configuration.

A well-behaved userspace should not set the bit if it is not supported.

It's common for userspace to copy all supported CPUID bits to
KVM_SET_CPUID2, I don't think this is the right behavior for
KVM_HINTS_REALTIME.

It reminds of X86_FEATURE_WAITPKG, which is added to supported CPUID recently as a fix but QEMU exposes it to guest only when "-overcommit cpu-pm"

(But maybe this was discussed already; if so, please point me to the
previous discussion).
