We are not sure whether such trick is worthwhile, since a sane

Okay, I just don't want it to be called out as virtualization specific.
It doesn't have to happen in current processors, but it should be
architecturally valid behavior to clear the processor's state as soon as
a bit in XFD is set to 1.
