Perhaps it makes sense to query about individual states, including
existing ones?  That will allow us to deprecate and then phase out
broken states.  It's probably not worth it.
You may do this already with the given design: Set up a VCPU, then issue
KVM_GET_VCPU_STATE on the substate in question. You will either get an
error code or 0 if the substate is supported. At least no additional
kernel code required.

No, if some code requires a feature, we don't want to set up a guest and a vcpu and issue dummy commands in order to find out if we can actually run that code.

Feature discovery needs to be a 'system ioctl' in the words of Documentation/kvm/api.txt.
