Hmm, not sure about that due to the padding in struct kvm_cpuid_entry2.
   It might break userspace that isn't too careful about zeroing it.

Given that we already are fully committed to potentially breaking userspace by
disallowing KVM_SET_CPUID{2} after KVM_RUN, we might as well get greedy.

Hmm, I thought this series was because we were _not_ fully committed. :)

FWIW, QEMU zeroes the whole thing before setting individual CPUID
entries. Legacy KVM_SET_CPUID call is also not afffected as it copies
entries to a newly allocated "struct kvm_cpuid_entry2[]" and explicitly
zeroes padding.

Do we need to at least add a check for ".flags"?

Yes.

Yes, we do. Alternatively, we can replace memdup with a copy in the style of KVM_CPUID.
