The modification of the CPU attributes are done through a monitor
command.
It allows to move the core inside the topology tree to optimize
the cache usage in the case the host's hypervisor previously
moved the CPU.
The same command allows to modify the CPU attributes modifiers
like polarization entitlement and the dedicated attribute to notify
the guest if the host admin modified scheduling or dedication of a vCPU.
With this knowledge the guest has the possibility to optimize the
usage of the vCPUs.
The command has a feature unstable for the moment.

Doesn't this allow setting horizontal entitlement? Which shouldn't be possible,
only the guest can do it.
IMHO it does not, the polarization is set by the guest through the PTF
instruction, but entitlement is set by the host.
Yes, so when the guests requests vertical polarization, all cpus have a
(vertical) entitlement assigned and will show up as vertical in STSI.
But now, by using the qmp command, the polarization can be reset to horizontal,
even though the guest didn't ask for it.
Right, I will change this
