I do not like the idea to have capability flags for emulator bugs. We
have to many of those. And It is hard to know at which point exactly
this capability should be set. Case in point: apply this patch series
and the one it depends upon, but do not apply the last patch that actually
fixes the bug you've found. Run your test. It will work. Also the test
case will work on older kernels on AMD and modern Intel cpus with
unrestricted guest capability.
