    Perhaps it would be good if guest cpuid to

It is too late to change that aspect of the API, unfortunately. We don't know how various userspaces would behave.
Which means some sensible behaviour
already exists if I don't call KVM_SET_CPUID2.
So what is it, #UD on CPUID?
Would be good to have that documented.
