Our userspace does not really use it, and rely on the capability list.
Historically, we've been relying on the capabilities mechanism to
indicate what exists and what does not.

Yes.  I believe this bit marked the change point.

Anyway, it's exposed, and it's a lot better for userspace to make use of KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID since it will work on more kernels.


btw, it should work with -cpu host as well, no?
