I think that this should be decided by the caller. Just a boolean will suffice.

Or even better: since the userspace CPUID update is really not important in terms of performance,
why to special case it? 

Even if these guest caps are later overwritten, I don't see why we
need to avoid updating them, and in fact introduce a small risk of them not being consistent
with the other cpu caps.

With this we can avoid having the 'cap' variable which is *very* confusing as well.
