I have no problem moving it, but I'm curious why you think it would be
useful. If the user disables MTE from kvmtool's command line doesn't that
mean that they aren't interested if the host supports it? It looks a bit
unexpected to me for kvmtool to check if the host supports MTE when the
user doesn't want to enable the cap.
