Same goes for > KVM_CAP_STEAL_TIME, which I need to disable explicitly at the moment. I'm probably missing something since I haven't looked at this, but I'm wondering what the "VM instance" check is and why it should be necessary. Shouldn't KVM only expose capabilities which it can provide? I.e. the "VM instance" check should be done by KVM and, when it fails, the SVE and steal-time capabilities should return 0. Thanks, drew
